FORESTS, WOOD AND LIVELIHOODS:
Finding a Future For All

Held at New Parliament House, Canberra
16 August 2005

THIS WAS ANOTHER OF THE CRAWFORD FUND'S SUCCESSFUL AND PROVOCATIVE FREE ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCES

Coconut Logs - Fiji

"Rarely does a week go by without heated debate in Australia and overseas about the management and maintenance of forests. Worldwide, our forests and woodlands face escalating pressures to provide products and services essential for human life. The debate is an emotive one that tends to polarise audiences."

"I hope that this year's Crawford Fund annual conference will get beyond the emotion and polarisation by highlighting the issues and the significant role of international forestry research in finding a balance between the competing demands for forest products and services, and the ability of natural and plantation forests to supply them."

The Hon Neil Andrew,
Chairman, The ATSE Crawford Fund
