Fifth International Casuarina Workshop, Chennai, Republic of India, 03 - 07 February 2014. Casuarina Improvement for Securing Rural Livelihoods Over two million hectares of Casuarina plantations raised throughout the tropics provide several socio-economic, environmental and ecological services. Their fast growth, adaptability to a range of edaphic and climatic conditions, multiple end uses and the symbiotic nitrogen fixing ability make them a highly preferred group of trees for farmers. They protect human habitats and agricultural fields through shelterbelts and windbreaks, help in reclaiming degraded sites and meet industrial raw material requirements for papermaking, plywood making and biomass-based energy generation. Nursery development, cultivation and harvesting of Casuarina generate livelihood opportunities for farmers and agriculture-dependent labour force in rural areas. Following earlier successful international meetings in Canberra (1981), Cairo (1990), Da Nang (1996) and Haikou (2010), IUFRO Working Party S2.08.02, Improvement and Culture of Nitrogen-Fixing Trees, is pleased to announce the Fifth International Casuarina Workshop to be held in Chennai, Republic of India, 03 - 07 February 2014. The objectives of the Workshop are to bring together researchers and others interested in development of Casuarinas and update and compile the knowledge on this important group of species so that the results are effectively used for improving livelihood opportunities in rural areas leading to enhanced wood production and farm income as envisaged by the draft working title of the Workshop: Casuarina Improvement for securing rural livelihoods. Outputs from the meeting will include a written proceedings and strengthening of the international network which support global R&D into the casuarinas. The Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding (IFGTB), Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE) has agreed to act as host for the meeting. Dr V.K.
