2022
Abstract
An enhanced capacity in SE Asia for preparedness, monitoring, early detection, and efficacious response to forest pests and diseases will protect the small- and large-scale forest industries that contribute significantly to income and employment in rural, regional, and national economies, as well as to environmental health. This SRA has established the forest biosecurity needs and priorities in partner countries – Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR (Laos), Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. It has also initiated the coordination of two Task Forces – Government and Industry to begin to create a unified network capable of coordinated regional responses to forest pest and disease incursions. This SRA is phase one of a two-phase project. This project gathered the necessary baseline information needed to develop two second-phase projects built on the foundation of phase one, namely the University of the Sunshine Coast-led FST/2020/123 “Building an effective forest biosecurity network in SE Asia” and the University of Tasmania-led FST/2018/179 “Managing risk in SE Asian forest biosecurity”.
