Dear all -

Take 2 minutes, if you can, to enjoy my Forest Pest Rap, written to advertise the new FAO Guide re Forest Pests described in Sandy Liebhold's email below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-0ighGsrUE


FAO's communications specialist Tullia Baldassarri did a great job on this.  Please can  you help us go "viral" by sending this to relevant colleagues????

We particularly hope to reach all sectors of forest industry with advice on pest management and info about the international phytosanitary standards that can/will affect their business. Plant health regulators can learn about forestry from this Guide, and researchers can learn how the International Plant Protection Convention works to prevent pest spread.  

Something for everyone, so please spread the word!

Kerry

PS: The Guide is the result of over a year's effort by many global forest pest experts (see Guide link below for the list), led by Gillian Allard of FAO.
