Dear Maini family, When I was based in Calgary, my wife Elisabeth (from Vienna) and I met Jag and Carolina in Saskatchewan in 1957 as a new colleague in the research side of the Canadian Forestry Service. We had much in common and enjoyed our roles as coordinators in the national research program in Ottawa for four years. Our paths crossed literally and virtually in Chile, Vienna and in the consulting world for 25 years with the United Nations, industry, teaching in Canada and abroad in the 40 countries I was privileged to work in. I learned in this site that Jag was a tennis player. As Elisabeth and I had a tennis court built on our acreage in Gatineau Park during our 20 year residence there, I wish we had arranged visits with Jag and Caroline.

It is with great sorrow that I learned of the death of Jag Maini. What a great loss to the scientific community and Canada. Jag and I were graduate students together at the University of Saskatchewan, both of us working on our PhD's in ecology. We took classes together, did fieldwork together and had a lot of good times together. Although I have not seen him in many decades, I remember him well as a friendly caring fellow. My wife, of 62 years, and I send our condolences to his wife and his family. He was a wonderful human being. Gary K Hulett, Ph D [email protected]

I am very saddened to learn of Jag's passing. In the 80's and 90's we worked closely together on several large projects, including the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Evaluating and monitoring the Health of large-Scale Ecosystems, held at Chateau Montebello, Quebec in the Fall of 1993. Our friendship goes back to the early 1980 when Jag was with Forestry Canada. He was alway encouraging in my efforts to provide the Government and Canadians with an environmental perspective that integrated human activity within the environment in the hopes of a truly sustainable sustainable .
He was very dedicated, and had the unusual capacity to integrate scientific knowledge with political acumen. Fighting for the health of the biosphere in those days was not easy. But Jag gave it his best and inspired many to follow. He will be greatly missed by all of his colleagues. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Had the great pleasure of working closely with Jag at the UN Forum on Forests. He made a difference to the sustainable management of global forests through his commitment to the ideals of the Forum, and help ed by his dedication and the ability to work with everyone from any part of the world. It was indeed a pleasure working with Jag. May he rest in peace.

I had the honor of getting to know Dr Maini as a close friend of his daughter. He was always so kind and wise. A special memory he and I both shared is when I was sent to pick him up at the airport when Indi had knee surgery and just couldnt make it. This was before cell phones so he didnt know I was picking him up. And it was when we could go right up to the gate, so he was definitely surprised. We were supposed to pick up groceries on the way back to Indis house in the New Mexico mountains where she and Mrs Maini were waiting for us. He basically gave me carte blanche to buy whatever I wanted. And I did!! Anyway, we laughed about that for years. Im glad I knew him for so many years. He will be missed. Condolences to Geraldina, Arun and Indi. Xo Marce

My humble addition to the remembrance of Jag by many - a great man and the best that Canada has offered to the world and to forestry. Whatever you have heard about his humility is no exaggerration; the same goes for his commitment to what he believed passionately in. Long may his work continue to progress. Mafa Chipeta (Malawi)

I was privileged to work with Dr. Maini for several years in international forest policy development. He introduced me to many experts from around the world and guided our work in Canada's involvement with the Montreal Process Criteria and Indicators for the Conservation and Management of Temperate and Boreal Forests.
My condolences to his family.

I worked with Jag through the Canadian Commission for UNESCO, when he was in one of his voluntary roles. His visits to the office were always most welcomed. Jag was a gentleman, with a ready smile, high intellect and good advice. We once even had a discussion on raising teenagers. It was a privilege to know him and is sad to hear of his passing. - Jim
