Subject: Tropical Forests and Climate Change

Good Morning:

The CIDA Forestry Advisers Network (CFAN) has prepared a draft paper on
tropical forests and climate change.  It is hoped that the paper will raise
public awareness and contribute to a broader understanding of the
challenges and possible solutions.  It is not a scientific paper directed
at the research and academic communities.  We invite you to review it and
send us your comments and suggestions.  It can be found at:

http://www.rcfa-cfan.org/English/issues.13.html

At the present time it is only in English but will be available in French
and Spanish in early 2000.

When finalized, the paper will also have an extensive bibliography of
Internet resources on the climate change and forests.  If you or your
organization knows of websites that you would recommend, please forward the
site address (URL) to us.

Thank you

CFAN
