The causes of fires are complex, with sociological, economic, climatic and forest management aspects. The importance of fire issues, and the necessity to take an international approach has been widely recognised, and there are a number of major initiatives under way, some of which are described in this issue of International Forest Fire News. Communication between experts, and with policy makers and opinion formers is of the greatest importance to spread knowledge of the situation, its causes and possible solutions, and to promote synergies at the interagency level. UNECE and FAO, with the eight co-sponsors whose logos appear on the inside front cover, are happy to offer International Forest Fire News as a communication vehicle to the international forest fire community. Its usefulness is evident from the strong and continuously growing demand there is for IFFN. Brigita Schmögnerová Executive Secretary UN Economic Commission for Europe 1 EDITORIAL During the summer of 2003 in Europe much attention has been given to the extreme wildfires risk in Europe arising from the extremely hot and dry conditions between the Nordic countries and the Euro- Mediterranean region. Portugal was most severely affected by wildfires. The satellite image (below, left) shows fragments of fires burning in the South of the country in August 2003. At the end of the fire season more than 420,000 ha of Portugal’s forest lands had been scarred by wildfires.

  • Mullach Na Craobhan Corran Onich by Fort William PH33 6SE
    MacPhee & Partners Mullach Na Craobhan Corran Onich By Fort William PH33 6SE Set in spectacular Highland scenery and enjoying an idyllic elevated position with uninterrupted views over Loch Linnhe to the surrounding hills, Mullach Na Craobhan forms a superior detached villa, surrounded by generous garden grounds. Attractively decorated and in immaculate order throughout, the sale offers an ideal opportunity to acquire a large family home. Due to its size and location the property would also lend itself to a generous guest house or premium self-catering property and benefits from double glazing, an electric central heating system and two impressive multi-fuel stoves. In addition to the property itself, there is an attached double garage for which planning permission has been previously granted, to create integral self contained accommodation as well as the erection of a separate garage/carport/workshop in the grounds. The owner’s have indicated the furniture is available at separate negotiation. The property’s panoramic views of the Ardgour hills and Loch Linnhe produce breath-taking scenery all year round, while the Corran Ferry and active waterway provides interest. The current owners have created a wooden craft studio in the grounds, the French doors and decking boasting spectacular views. Check our website for a video link of the property, views and surrounding area. Mullach Na Craobhan’s setting evokes a real feeling of seclusion, yet is only a short walk or drive to all local amenities, with Fort William some 8 miles north and Ballachulish village 6 miles to the south. Situated on the edge of the popular village of Onich, the property is well placed to take advantage of the numerous leisure and pleasure activities the area has to offer.
