Talking points

Lots of rules, lots of problems, high level of complexity. yet focusing on ants, termites and tiger mosquitoes - the solution is in the collaboration of the people , through the different institutions

When we learn to speak a share language, with shared end goals, even if interests may differ solutions will come.

Insects plagues require an open mind, embracing law and daring to cocreate local specific solutions

Integrated Pest Management is a philosophy that brings together through multiple perspective intersectional solutions to 'wicked' problems

Money , budget matters
