Description

Pine wilt disease (PWD) represents a major threat to forest ecosystems across the globe. Originally affecting Eastern Asian countries, the challenge has moved into Europe following its detection in Portugal in 1999 and its subsequent spread. This book examines the serious implications for foresters and the environmental impact of this disease. Understanding the spread of PWD is essential for managing forest health. The text covers the historical context of the disease and the difficult process of translating scientific findings into political action. It highlights the work of Professor Manuel Mota, whose efforts were vital in communicating the seriousness of the problem to policymakers. For researchers, foresters, and students of biological sciences, this publication provides a look at the intersection of science and policy. It addresses the necessity of making political decisions based on sound scientific evidence to protect forest ecosystems from this growing worldwide threat.
