UN agency guidelines aim to sustain forest benefits for future generations

United nations, May 11 (UNI) New guidelines designed to give poor and isolated communities more of a say in how tropical forests are used and preserved around the world were published on Thursday, by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

The aim is to make these concessions “more transparent, accountable and beneficial to some of the poorest communities in the world”, said the agency.
