About this book

It is a great honor and indeed a privilege for me to write the Foreword to this book, the first of its kind from the Forest Products Research Institute The study of forest insects is now becoming a matter of great concern to many people all over the world because insects damage the already depleted forests and forest resources.

Foresters are now becoming in­ creasingly aware of the immense havoc that some of these insects can cause.
