FAO and Forest Departments of various countries have since long been
involved in providing livelihood opportunities to forest dwellers and rural
households through some direct intervention and also through research and
development initiatives. But it is strongly felt that there are many grey
areas where still a lot is needed to be done. Further, many good things are
happening around the globe in the field of Forests resources particularly
NWFP management related issues. There are plenty of success stories
regarding sustainable livelihood through Forest resource utilization.  *V
Sivaram Research Foundation* and *Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) will be *
 organizing  the Symposium which provides platform and  opportunity for
researchers, policy makers, managers, professionals from different private
sectors in Asia and other regions of the world to exchange and share
methodologies, approaches, information on products, market and lessons
learnt from Forest resource conservation and development initiatives.

Forests are essential for human survival and well being. They harbour two
thirds of all terrestrial animal and plant species. They provide us with
food, oxygen, shelter, recreation, and spiritual sustenance, and they are
the source for over 5,000 commercially traded products, ranging from
pharmaceuticals to timber and clothing. The biodiversity of forests the
variety of genes, species, and forest ecosystems underpins these goods and
services, and is the basis for long term forest health and stability.
Promoting strategies and ways to use forest biodiversity in a sustainable
way, and with clear social and economic benefits for the poor, is the
purpose of scheduled meeting.
