Ecology And Nature Conservation Institute, Chinese Academy Of Forestry

Ecology And Nature Conservation Institute, Chinese Academy Of Forestry Department Of Research Division is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, located in Beijing, China, with a primary focus on ecological and entomological research. As a research-oriented institute associated with the Chinese Academy of Forestry, the organization specializes in scientific collaboration and investigative studies related to invasive species management and biological control mechanisms. The institute provides specialized research services to U.S. federal agencies, specifically focusing on understanding and mitigating the impacts of invasive insects through comprehensive scientific investigation.

The organization has consistently received federal grant awards from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) for targeted research on invasive species control. Specifically, the institute has conducted multiple cooperative agreements and project grants centered on biological control strategies for exotic invasive insects. Recent grant awards include research on the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula), investigating natural enemies and control mechanisms in the insect's native range in China, with grants totaling approximately $2,481,300 for research spanning from 2022 to 2025. Additional grants have focused on biological control of the Asian longhorned beetle, including studies on host range and preference, demonstrating the organization's expertise in detailed entomological research aimed at understanding and potentially mitigating the spread of invasive insect species through scientific investigation and ecological analysis.
