Forest Pest Management
Forest Pest Management involves strategies to monitor, control, and reduce damage caused by insects, diseases, and other pests in forest ecosystems. This process aims to maintain healthy forests by preserving biodiversity, promoting tree growth, and preventing significant economic losses in timber and other forest products. Techniques include biological control, which uses natural predators, and chemical treatments. Monitoring pest populations helps anticipate outbreaks and implement timely interventions. Effective management balances ecological health with economic interests, ensuring forests remain resilient and productive for future generations while minimizing the impact on wildlife and the environment.
