More and more countries, forest services, projects, universities, research centres, NGOs and other organizations continue to develop their own software, very often for specific objectives and not necessarily to sell it for a profit. For this reason the Forestry Department of FAO invites you and/or your organization/agency/network to participate in a global electronic survey on non commercial software used in the management of forests in the tropic by filling out the questionnaire not later than 30 November 2007.
