FOREST ECOSYSTEM GENOMICS RESEARCH: SUPPORTING TRANSATLANTIC COOPERATION

foresttrac

The main aim of FORESTTRAC is to prepare future coordinated research, via a strategic research roadmap, between Europe and North America on adaptation of forest trees to climate changes, linking the disciplines of ecology, genetics, genomics and evolution.

FORESTTRAC brings together a critical mass of research expertise in these disciplines on both

sides of the Atlantic with leading European, American and Canadian partners.

Large scale genomic projects have been conducted in “parallel” in North America and Europe,

lacking cooperative interactions. The leading institutions which coordinated the earlier projects

are now partners of FORESTTRAC to ensure that the current state-of-art research is taken into account and represented in the project.

FORESTTRAC will deliver a mapping of current research

activities and capacity in forest ecosystem genomics, a

validated research roadmap, a set of joint research plans, a collection

of genomic resources for whole genome sequencing of ecologically and economically

important tree species. As part of the project activities, all project outputs will be validated by a wide group of stakeholders from Europe and North America. In particular, significant efforts will be put in the dissemination of the research roadmap which is expected to guide research groups, with the support of the donor community, in addressing the main scientific challenges in forest ecosystem genomics.

The FORESTTRAC project is financially supported by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme

An urbanizing country learns to appreciate its forests

Forest fires raged through much of Lebanon in the fall of 2007, destroying more than 1 500 hectares of forest and 1.2 million cedars, Mediterranean pines and other trees. This added to the destruction wrought by military hostilities the year before.

Forest fires are occurring more frequently in Lebanon these days, and urbanization is one of the root causes, according to Hisham Salman of the Association for Forests, Development and Conservation (AFDC), a non-governmental organization dedicated to building Lebanon’s capacity for preventing and fighting fires.

FAO has partnered with AFDC to attack the forest fire problem from all sides under a forest management and conservation project launched in March 2008 and financed by the Lebanon Recovery Fund.

Volunteer fire fighting teams are being established in communities with wooded areas to protect, and volunteers are trained and provided with high-quality protective gear and tools.

State-of-the-art, easily manoeuvred trucks with water tanks and hoses are pre-positioned at key locations.

Working with AFDC, along with Lebanon’s ministries of environment and agriculture, the FAO project is also assessing the physical and economic losses due to forest fires and monitoring restoration efforts to see which techniques work best here.

A tree nursery with capacity for 100 000 seedlings is being built, and six fire trucks will be distributed to civil defence and volunteer fire fighting units. The NGO’s 10 000-strong volunteer network is being mobilized for the awareness campaign, and they will be backed up by television, radio and billboard advertising.

“In the past, fires didn’t spread like they do now, because, fewer people are working in agriculture,” says a speaker at an awareness-raising seminar in Ramlieh village. “Cultivated land used to act as a fire break, but now, all the forests are connected by shrubs.”

Reforestation of fire-damaged forests is not always straightforward. Where the forest was on private lands, owners are not interested in replacing “non-productive” trees like the Lebanon cedar. Pine seedlings are the most popular, says Salman, because they do not require a lot of care and they produce pine nuts that can be sold for cash.

Early recovery success sto

ries

Lebanon recovery fund

In an immediate effort to help war-affected farmers in south Lebanon, FAO sent a team of experts to assess farmers’ needs.

Three projects – for the horticulture, livestock and forestry sectors – were developed in collaboration with Lebanon’s Ministry of Agriculture and with the cooperation of farmers themselves.

All three FAO projects were financed by the Lebanon Recovery Fund, for a total of US$ 5.9 million. The Fund was set up after the 2006 conflict to channel donor financing for priority recovery and reconstruction projects. It is administered by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Projects financed by the Fund – like the three FAO projects described in this brochure – are approved by the Lebanese government and carried out by participating UN agencies.
