Pacific biocontrol strategy workshop
16-18 Nov 09 Auckland New Zealand

Pacific Islanders and plant health specialists from the international community recently tackled the issue of adopting biological control as a tool for fighting invasive pests and weeds in agriculture, forestry and important ecosystems. The workshop, held in Auckland, New Zealand decided that Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) can share more information between agriculture, forestry and biodiversity conservation groups to better address biocontrol work, as well as look at strategies implemented in other regions in the use of biocontrol agents to fight invasive plants and pests.
