With this program, Kyrgyz participants had a possibility to Turkish experiences and implementation on forest pests and disease. They also had a chance to discuss forestry education of Turkey.

These Pine Bag Insects (Thaumetopoeo pityocampa) harm by eating in the hands of a pine forest, prevent the growth of trees. These insects do not dry the trees, but cause slowing growth and image pollution. This situation is very closely related to the image and work of the forest organization.

There are various methods to combat this insect. However, the General Directorate of Forestry follows the methods that will not harm the nature and will not destroy the ecosystem.

The insect called Calosoma sycophanta  is fed by eating pine beetles but not in nature enough. The General Directorate of Forestry supports to increase the population of this insect which does not have any other damages and produces it in the laboratory and releases it to the forests.

For this purpose, Calosoma sycophanta beetle collected from its natural habitat in Antalya is brought to Istanbul or other places, replicated and left to forests. In this way, natural balance is provided. The official video of the General Directorate of Forestry on the fight against pine-beetle can be found at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-X-ZbL2Z98

With this link it can be found a scientific articles http://dergipark.gov.tr/download/article-file/223745  That article indicates as follows very briefly:

Biological Struggle Against Pine Bag Insect (Thaumetopoeo pityocampa Schiff) Abstract: Major biological threat to forest health in Turkey is insect pests and Pine Bag Insects are the most common ones among these insects.  Pine Bag Insects cause damage to pine forests in Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara region.  Predator inspects follow pine bag inspects and leave their eggs at the places where predator inspects are crasited. In our research we determined that Calosoma Sycophanta (L.) eats both their larval and new pupa. In this study, our different approach to struggle against forest varmint and to nullify them is to use predator hunter insects (Calosoma sycophanta), which is a biological and nature friend method.  We believe that our study will preserve and protect our forests against the danger of disappearing at alarming rate and it will be one of the urgent protections that our country needs
