INSECT CONSERVATION RESEARCH
Why
1. Insect is a big group of animal (approximately 56 % of all species recorded) and its valuable role in ecosystem
2. Increasing rate of habitat destruction (due to illegal logging, landuse-change, habitat isolation and fragmentation etc)
3. There are very limited information available
4. Limited/ Lack of human resources working on insect conservation

What and how to use natural enemies
Insect diversity Research
1. Inventory insect species
2. Identifying natural enemies diversity
3. Response of insect toward habitat disturbance
4. Monitoring Insect Communities
Biological control research
1. Identification potential natural enemies as biological control agents
2. How to use natural enemies (experimental study)
3. Natural enemies conservation in the field
4. Non target impact assessment

Mean number of recorded parasitic Hymenoptera species ± SD (box) and SE (whisker) in cacao agroforestry system located in different distance to the nearest forest: F4,11 =2.07, P= 0.1526, n= 16. The sum of observations of parasitic Hymenoptera species for the following classes was: Forest , n=2; Margin (0-50 m), n=4; 50-250 m, n=5;500-900, n=3; >1500 m, n=2

FUTURE WORKS
• Research on Pollinator Crisis• Research on dung beetle• Develop insect conservation trainings• Develop books, checklist, scientific
publications• Develop database for insect
distribution.
PROBLEMS
1. Lack of capability in writing popular and scientific publications (especially in english)
2. Limited references (most of scientific journals and books are very expensive to buy)
3. Limited statistical and GIS software
4. Limited equipment
