The eighth session of the Intergovernmental Technical Working Group on Forest Genetic Resources (ITWG-FGR) will review issues related to biodiversity in the area of forest genetic resources and make recommendations to the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA). The Working Group will also consider progress made in implementing the Commission’s programme of work on forest genetic resources, as well as any other matters referred to it by the Commission.
The CGRFA established the subsidiary ITWG-FGR at its 12th Regular Session in 2009. There are 28 members of the Working Group – five from Africa, five from Asia, five from Europe, five from Latin America, four from the Near East, two from North America, and two from the Southwest Pacific, which are elected every two years during regular sessions of the Commission. Other member countries of the Commission may attend the Working Group as observers.
