Book (series)General interest bookLessons learned from global surveys conducted in fisheries and aquaculture during the COVID-19 pandemic 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Conscious of the data scarcity during the COVID-19 pandemic, FAO collaborated with the Johns Hopkins Center for a Liveable Future (CLF), within the Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH), to document the impacts of, and responses to, the pandemic. To do so, it conducted a systematic literature review and implemented a survey with support from Globefish, Eurofish and the other Fish Info Networks, together with case studies of Eurofish Member States.This circular describes the findings from the FAO and CLF-supported surveys, and the literature review. The report was further enriched with a collection of work from large studies across the world. -
ArticleJournal articleInvasive alien plants, insect pests and pathogens in Planted and Natural forests in Nepal: Key lessons from an online survey on distribution and impacts
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Owing to its diverse climatic and topographic condition, Nepal hosts diverse forests and rich biodiversity which provide a variety of ecosystem goods and services. Spread of invasive alien plants, insect pests and pathogens (IAS) has been contributing to degrading forest ecosystem services in Nepal. This study outlined the status, distribution and impact of IAS on forest ecosystem using an online survey among forest officers and forest technicians across Nepal. Invasion and management of pests and diseases is quite limited and under-reported, while the management measures on IAPs are growing. Raising awareness at individual and community levels and capacity building among three levels of government (local, provincial and federal) aids sustainable management of IAS and supports continuous delivery of forest goods and services. Keywords: IAS, biological invasions, severity of damages, control measures, forest health ID: 3486929 -
PresentationPresentationTree health in the international year of plant health: what we can learn from the SARS COV-2 pandemic 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the devastating impact of transboundary diseases and the importance of preparedness, surveillance, and implementation of preventive measures in order to protect human health. It has also demonstrated the importance of coordinated international action in the management of transboundary diseases. Such coordinated international action is also fundamental to protect the world’s forests from forest invasive species (transboundary insect pests, pathogens, vertebrates, plants). Professor Mike Wingfield opens the webinar introducing a broad topic on pandemics. He presents an interesting comparison among human pandemic and pests outbreaks, highlighting similarities and - most importantly - lessons learned.
