Forest Pests

Forest pests are organisms, such as insects or fungi, that damage or consume trees, affecting forest health and ecosystems. They can weaken trees, cause deformities, or even kill them, leading to economic losses and ecological imbalance. Pests often thrive due to environmental changes, such as climate shifts or tree stress. Managing forest pests involves monitoring, early detection, and implementing control measures to protect forests and maintain their vital role in the environment.
