<br>
Neonicotinoids, a class of systemic insecticides, are the most widely-used group of insecticides in the world due to their favourable properties from a pest management point of view. They are neurotoxins that are highly effective against a broad range of insect
pests while expressing relatively low toxicity to mammals. However, recent studies have shown that their broad scale use has resulted in widespread and persistent contamination in soils, plants, sediments, and water. Also, several studies linked the use of
neonicotinoids in agriculture to honeybee colony collapse disorder, which caught the world’s attention. Dr. Kreutzweiser and two other Canadians were appointed to a 30-member advisory panel to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Commission
on Ecosystem Management that was assembled to review over 800 scientific studies and provide an analysis and synthesis of the environmental risks associated with the widespread use of neonicotinoids. A Worldwide Integrated Assessment was published in a series
of papers and several international press conferences were held in 2015. The assessment showed that neonicotinoids pose a serious threat of harm to a broad range of non-target organisms, well beyond honeybees. We will provide an overview of the findings of
the WIA and show the forestry connection to this issue. We will highlight similarities and differences between agricultural uses and forestry applications of neonicotinoids and their environmental risks.<br>
