Goal & Objectives

The project aims to examine adelgid species regarding their biology, diversity, distribution, effect on host plants, and ecological and economic impact due to its potential of creating a large-scale disturbance in the forest landscape of Bhutan. The objectives of the project are to:

  • Identify adelgid species found in Bhutan;
  • Carry out adelgid survey encompassing spatial extent and diversity;
  • Develop management strategies for controlling the spread of adelgids in the conifer forests of Bhutan;
  • Train forestry professionals and local communities in the identification, survey, and control of the insect; and
  • Monitor the spread of the insect.

 

Expected Outputs

The project has five expected outputs:

  • Species of adelgids in Bhutan will be confirmed through DNA analysis;
  • Adelgid diversity and distribution survey will be carried out in conifer forest;
  • Forest Pest and disease outbreak reporting and monitoring will be incorporated into the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tools;
  • Scientific paper on adelgid diversity and distribution in Bhutan will be published; and
  • Forestry professionals and community forestry members will be trained on surveying, monitoring, and management of the pest.
