Dear all,
Firstly, we would like to apologize for announcing the yearly theme of 2015-APRM very late. In this year’s meeting, each LC should do a presentation according to our yearly theme-- “Different Types of Forest Utilization in Asia-Pacific Region”. Please follow the directions below to prepare the presentation with other representatives in your LC. We would like to see some very fresh and new issues which will spark heated discussions among all delegates instead of some old-fashioned topics. For those who do excellent in presentation, we will award prizes for them as an encouragement.
Other rules for presentation would be posted in February. Please wait for them patiently. Thank you! :)
