                         TOPIC AND OBJECTIVES
Objective of the symposium is to bring together forestry experts
to discuss specific problems of assessment and monitoring of
forests in tropical dry regions. There is a great variety of
different forest formations in tropical dry regions. In the symposium
emphasis is to be given to the specific forest formation of gallery
forests. Assessment and monitoring have also to be seen
in the context of ecological, environmental and socioeconomic aspects.
