How to strengthen the capacity building of forest diseases and insect pests monitoring and forecasting in forest farms

1. Establish and improve the monitoring network system. The monitoring and forecasting of forest diseases and insect pests at forest farm level needs a perfect monitoring network system, including establishing monitoring stations, collecting samples and analyzing data. If necessary, modern science and technology can be introduced, such as satellite monitoring.

2. Strengthen information sharing and linkage. Forestry departments at all levels should establish information sharing and linkage mechanisms, timely report the monitoring of various pests, study early warning mechanisms, and formulate effective countermeasures. In addition, they should also establish cooperation mechanisms with other relevant departments, such as agriculture and environmental protection, and establish cross-departmental cooperation mechanisms to deal with biological hazards.

3. Strengthen early warning capability. It is necessary to establish a timely and effective forest pest monitoring and forecasting risk assessment system at the forest farm level to give early warning of the occurrence and spread of pests. Remote sensing technology, climate prediction and other means can be used to predict and analyze the changes and migration trends of biological populations.
