Research that works for developing countries and AustraliaForestryResearch Program Manager: Dr Russell Haines The Forestry program contributes to poverty alleviation and natural resource conservation and rehabilitation through scientific support for the establishment, management and sustainable utilisation of forests, providing optimum social, economic and environmental benefits to partner countries and Australia. Areas of focus include: development of silvicultural systems and improved germplasm, harvesting and processing approaches and the management of threats.
