<DIV>Hi, forest pest mavens & others!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please check out my new blog on the history of shipping containers - which
have allowed both atmospheric rise in volume of goods shipped and transport of
lots of tree-killing insects in wood packaging. The blog suggests steps
that governments and commercial entities can take to minimize the presence of
insects, snails, and other (potential) invasive species.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The blog is posted at the website of the Center for Invasive Species
Prevention -- <A href="http://www.cisp.us">www.cisp.us</A></DIV>
