Multiple attempts to transfer the IAWA domain name (iawa-website.org) from the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden, Netherlands to the Chinese Academy of Forestry, China failed. In order to manage the IAWA website, a new IAWA domain name (iawa-website1.org) has been established and a new IAWA website has been built at CAF, Beijing, China. Please visit IAWA new website for updated information on IAWA Association affairs and wood anatomy news.
