| dc.description | A recent outbreak of a species of moth believed to be Euproctis spp., in Seychelles caused a national crisis, including the closure of three major schools and serious concern over risks to public health and potential damage to the local economy. The pest infestation began on the main island of Mahé and quickly spread to neighbouring inhabited islands, damaging native vegetation, as well as agricultural crops. A lack of technical and financial resourcesto address this crisis led the Government to request FAO assistanceto to identify the invasive pest species and assess the extent of its damage to the economy, develop a national control strategy,improve capacities of national experts and strengthen the plant health protection system. | |
