INTERNATIONAL FOREST FIRE NEWS (IFFN)
IFFN is a biannual ECE/FAO publication, which is intended to enhance the exchange of information on wildland fire management and related sciences.  It provides information about fire related issues in various countries:  fire management programmes, cooperation, recent and forthcoming meetings and publications.  Short reports provided by government bodies or individual scientists and managers are given together with bibliographical sources and contact addresses.  It also serves as news bulletin for IUFRO's Subject Group S1.09, Forest Fire Research.   It is produced with the cooperation of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Project (IGBP), the International Boreal Forest Research Association and the Bureau of Land Management of the United States Department of the Interior.  Copies are available free of charge from the secretariat. IFFN can also be consulted at the FIRE GLOBE, Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC).
