WHY do we have so many new forest pests?

Increased trade moves pests globally

Expanded global trade
Pathways for pest movement in international trade
• Wood as a commodity
• Wood packaging materials
• Plants for planting
• Cut plants
• Seeds
• Industrial equipment
International control mechanisms
• International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC): an international agreement among countries to prevent the introduction and spread of pests
• 177 countries are contracting parties
• NPPOs: use national legislation to protect natural resources from pests
• International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs): provide guidance for harmonized regulatory measures
International standards
•ISPM No. 15: regulation of wood packaging material in international trade
New guide• To initiate a common understanding of
phytosanitary concepts
• To make ISPMs moreaccessible to the forest sector
• Thus to reduce themovement of pests
Guide development• Developed by FAO with international
scientists, phytosanitary authorities and forest sector representatives
• Supported by the International Plant Protection Convention Secretariat
• Financial support from FAO-Finland Forestry Programme

Distribution of the Guide• English version printed, other 5 official FAO
languages in final technical review
• German and Portuguese translations
• Print copies will be widely distributed to forest sector workers, universities, forestry schools & libraries, & will be made available to NPPOs
• Will also be made available online & on CD
The way forward• Implementation through regional forest
invasive species networks and/or through Regional Forestry Commissions
• Presentations at regional workshops, scientific, professional meetings
• Field testing in developing countries (Tanzania & Ecuador) with support from the FAO-Finland Forestry Programme and other sponsors
Training the next generation• Educational curriculum development
– development of teaching materials for forestry schools, phytosanitary courses
– online courses
– professional forester accreditation
Coming soon...• Presentation to the Kerala Forest Research
Institute in Peechi, India (March 2011) • Australia/New Zealand Institute of Forestry,
University of Waikato (May, 2011)• A regional workshop for 15 Russian-speaking
countries to be held in Estonia will bring NPPOs and forest health professionals together (June 2011)
• Side event at the Asia Pacific Forest Invasive Species Network Beijing (Nov 2011)
