NEW ZEALAND HOSTS THE 'SILVER ANNIVERSARY' 25th SESSION OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC FORESTRY COMMISSION

摘要

Forestry can contribute vastly to enhancing prosperity if concerted efforts are made by forest managers, governments and the private sector. This was the message that emerged from a gathering of more than 200 leading forestry experts and policy makers, meeting in Rotorua, New Zealand, 5-8 November 2013. At the invitation of the Government of New Zealand, Rotorua, the heartland of forestry of New Zealand, hosted the "Silver Anniversary" 25th Session of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Commission (APFC). This was the second time that Rotorua hosted the Commission - the first being nearly half a century ago, in 1964.
