The showcase linked to this webinar can be found here. \nAccurate identification of biological specimens\, which is one of the services offered by natural science collections\, feed into decision-making related to pest and disease control in agriculture\, this includes which pest management strategy to implement or pesticide to use. This impacts on farmers at all scales\, subsistence to large scale commercial\, as well as the Department of Agriculture in the case of national risks. \nNatural science collections also contribute to protecting human health through research into zoonotic diseases carried by pests that can spill over to humans\, and contributing to management plans to reduce the pest populations. \nYou can look forward to the following talks: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   \n  \n  \nIziko Entomology CollectionSimon van NoortIziko Museums of South Africa \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   \n  \n  \nARC National Collection of InsectsRobin LyleAgricultural Research Council \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   \n  \n  \nDNSM Mammalogy DepartmentLeigh RichardsDurban Natural Science Museum \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click here to register URL:https://nscf.org.za/event/value-of-natural-science-collections-webinar-series-the-fight-against-pests-and-diseases/ LOCATION:Zoom\, https://nscf.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=11d1afb13749941e502e41796&id=2994ec9a1c&e=cbf641a4ad\, South Africa END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20210730T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20210730T140000 DTSTAMP:20260430T201741 CREATED:20210719T075957Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210719T091049Z UID:3326-1627653600-1627653600@nscf.org.za SUMMARY:Webinar | The stuffed\, stoned\, pickled and pinned saving our living planet DESCRIPTION:The Natural Science Collections Facility invites you to our value of collections webinar series.
