Establishment of CIFOR: Status Report

Two documents submitted as background for TAC 59 in October 1992 and CGIAR discussion of CIFOR at ICW in October 1992:1. Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) report on activities surrounding the establishment of CIFOR from May to September 1992, including developments at the inaugural meeting of CIFOR's board of trustees in July; and 2. CIFOR's draft program of work and budget for 1993, prepared by the Program Committee of the Board of Trustees in cooperation with ACIAR

CGIAR Research Program 6: Forests, Trees and Agroforestry: Livelihoods, Landscapes and Governance

CRP6 is designed to make a significant contribution toward the vision and strategic objectives articulated in the CGIAR’s Strategic Results Framework by: 1. enhancing the contribution of forests, agroforestry and trees to production and incomes of forest-dependent communities and smallholders; 2. conserving biodiversity, including tree genetic diversity, through sustainable management and conservation of forests and trees; 3. maintaining or enhancing environmental services from forests, agroforestry and trees in multifunctional and dynamic landscapes; 4. reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and augmenting carbon stocks through better management of forest- and tree-based sources while increasing local and societal resilience through forest-, agroforestry- and tree-based adaptation measures; and 5. promoting the positive impacts and reducing the negative impacts of global trade and investment as drivers of landscape change affecting forestlands, agroforestry areas, trees and the well-being of local people. The proposal was prepared by CIFOR, World Agroforestry Centre, Bioversity International and CIAT. CRP 6 was presented and approved at the 4th Fund Council Meeting in April 2011

Cross-Sector Review of Drivers and Available 3Rs Approaches for Acute Systemic Toxicity Testing

Acute systemic toxicity studies are carried out in many sectors in which synthetic chemicals are manufactured or used and are among the most criticized of all toxicology tests on both scientific and ethical grounds. A review of the drivers for acute toxicity testing within the pharmaceutical industry led to a paradigm shift whereby in vivo acute toxicity data are no longer routinely required in advance of human clinical trials. Based on this experience, the following review was undertaken to identify (1) regulatory and scientific drivers for acute toxicity testing in other industrial sectors, (2) activities aimed at replacing, reducing, or refining the use of animals, and (3) recommendations for future work in this area
