in this area. Finland"s planned activities include a scientist assistance programme, with
particular emphasis on building forest research capacities of young forestry scientists
in developing countries. The Russian Federation, with assistance from UNEP, has
started training specialists in the area of space monitoring of desertification. Sudan has
undertaken a GIS survey in the affected areas and is hoping to start a scientific
survey.
