International Forest Fire News (IFFN)
International Forest Fire News (IFFN) was an activity of the FAO/UNECE Team of Specialists on Forest Fire and the Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC) and constituted the first international newsletter / journal covering forest fires and other vegetation fires at global level. Between 1989 and 2014, IFFN was published on behalf of UNECE Timber Committee and the FAO European Forestry Commission. About 1000 printed copies of each issues had been distributed globally to agencies, libraries, academia and fire managers by the UNECE Trade Development and Timber Division, Timber Branch, Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland.
The publication was edited and prepared by Johann Georg Goldammer, Leader of the FAO/UNECE Team of Specialists on Forest Fire, at the Global Fire Monitoring Center (GFMC), Germany. Meanwhile all 45 volumes, which contain scientific and technical reports on forest fires and other landscape fires around the world, are available digitally. On request, a limited number of print copies of the journal can be obtained from GFMC:
