Foreword Selecting a limited number of species of bamboo and rattan for priority research and development out of the several hundred that exist was not an easy task. Traditional methods helped to some extent to indicate the usefulness of certain species in different countries. However, there is no comprehensive account to consolidate their uses in many countries. An exercise to select bamboo and rattan species for further research was completed in 1993 with the assistance of a handful of experts in the fields of bamboo and rattan taxonomy, ethnobotany, silviculture, conservation and genetics. This collaboration resulted in the first joint publication, between INBAR and IBPGR issued in 1994. The contents included background details, criteria for selection of species, the major priority bamboo and rattan species selected and notes on them. The publication was not conceived as an end in itself, but as an initial document to be updated from time to time. The first edition itself contained, besides the list of priority species, a list of additional species that were important. The document was widely circulated, inviting responses and initiating discussions on prioritizing bamboo and rattan species based on social, economic and cultural considerations. The details given in the publication were very much appreciated and widely used. At the same time many valuable suggestions were made to include more species, that are economically important in several Asian regions, their characteristics and economic values. The INBAR Bamboo Rattan Working Group on Genetic Diversity and Conservation decided last year to bring out a second edition of Priority Species of Bamboo and Rattan. This new edition is a result of further review of information from different countries as well as new information gathered by IPGRI and INBAR. The second edition also incorporates changes suggested by national programes. The revised list was prepared for the INBAR Biodiversity and Genetic Resources Conservation Working Group and spearheaded by Prof A N Rao of the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI). We hope the research workers, institutions and authorities concerned with bamboo and rattan resources and utilization will welcome and use this new edition as well as they did the first one. Needless to say, planning and action are needed to save the existing bamboo and rattan resources in the forests and to promote their sustainable use. Such efforts will continue to assist to improve the incomes of rural people who are closely connected in harvesting, local trades and utilizing materials in home industries. Cherla B.
