forest benefits: UN calls for maximization of urban forest benefits<BR>'The
accelerating rate of natural disturbances affecting cities such as storms,
droughts, floods and landslides reminds us that resilience to disasters is of
critical importance and that trees play an important role in protecting city
environments,' said FAO Assistant Director-General for Forestry, Eduardo
Rojas-Briales. 'Good practices in urban and peri-urban forestry can contribute
to building a resilient city in terms of mitigation and adaptation to the
effects of climate change,' Rojas-Briales said. Urban forests also improve the
well-being and health conditions of citizens by cooling the environment,
particularly in arid zones.<BR></SPAN></B></A><B><SPAN
