Reducing risks from highly hazardous pesticides in Pakistan
Highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs) pose serious risks to people and the environment. Working with national partners, CABI is helping Pakistan strengthen pesticide regulation, improve poisoning surveillance, support evidence-based policy, and promote safer alternatives for sustainable agriculture.
Harmonizing quarantine pest lists for a ASEAN Pest Database
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states face challenges in managing quarantine pest-related information due to fragmented data systems, inconsistent assessment methods, and limited coordination among National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs). These gaps hinder timely responses to emerging pest threats and complicate regional efforts in evidence-based pest management. The Task Force on ASEAN Pest Database (TF-APD), has been established to create a regional platform for quarantine pest information, with CABI serving as the Technical Secretariat.
