<p>珀斯正在進入一場它從未想要參與的戰鬥的新階段：保護其樹冠免受一種不比芝麻種子大的甲蟲的侵害。經過多年的迅速傳播和數千棵死亡樹木後，官員們正從試圖消滅多食性孔洞鑽孔蟲轉向尋找與之共存的方法，7News 報道。</p>
<h3>發生了什麼？</h3>
<p>西澳大利亞州重新繪製了整個珀斯大都市區的檢疫地圖，標誌着該州早期更具攻擊性的消滅多食性孔洞鑽孔蟲的嘗試發生了重大轉變。這種昆蟲於 2021 年首次在弗里曼特爾被發現，已經侵害了數千棵樹木，並迫使在海德公園和國王公園進行樹木移除。由於沒有有效的化學處理方法，並且在識別早期感染方面面臨持續挑戰，該州在 6 月正式結束了消滅的努力。</p>
<p>這一轉變令專家感到震驚。入侵物種委員會警告稱，這一決定 “可能會使全國其他地區面臨風險。”</p>
<p>根據新計劃，珀斯現在被劃分為兩個區域：一個是蟲害已牢固紮根的內部管理區，另一個是外部控制區，官員們希望在這裏阻止其進一步傳播。初級產業和區域發展部將優先在控制區進行修剪和移除，以防止甲蟲進入區域社區和農業走廊。</p>
<h3>為什麼甲蟲的傳播令人擔憂？</h3>
<p>入侵物種通過與本土植物和動物競爭並削弱它們長期支持的生態系統而破壞生態平衡。一旦這種甲蟲在樹木中打洞，它會引入一種真菌，阻礙水分和養分的運輸，慢慢使樹木飢餓直至死亡。失去樹冠覆蓋會影響從鄰里熱度到野生動物棲息地再到食品生長條件的方方面面。</p>
<p>“早期發現和管理高風險感染，特別是在控制區，仍然對管理傳播和影響至關重要，” DPIRD 的米婭·卡本對 7News 表示。</p>
<p>由於本土物種通常對入侵者沒有自然防禦，延誤可能會給害蟲帶來巨大的優勢。這種不平衡威脅到生物多樣性以及土壤和水的健康，並增加了未來害蟲傳播疾病的風險。</p>
<h3>針對甲蟲採取了什麼措施？</h3>
<p>DPIRD 正在與受影響的物業所有者直接合作，提供免費修剪或移除在消滅階段選定的樹木的選項。他們也可以選擇在部門指導下獨立管理自己的樹木。該州已承諾向受影響地區的地方政府和研究治療方案提供 470 萬澳元的資金。</p>
<p>居民可以通過報告可疑的樹木損壞、避免移動未處理的木材以及選擇本土植物來支持控制工作，以增強當地生態系統。</p>
<p>“通過共同努力，我們將有最佳機會限制甲蟲的傳播，並將其對我們樹冠和寶貴的園藝產業的影響降到最低，” 卡本説。</p>

<p>澳大利亞珀斯因多食性孔鑽蟲的入侵而實施隔離，這種甲蟲威脅着當地生態系統。該市被劃分為管理區和控制區，以控制其傳播。州政府已撥款 470 萬澳元用於樹木管理和研究。居民被敦促報告樹木損壞情況，並避免移動未經處理的木材。從根除轉向控制的決定引發了對國家風險的擔憂</p>

<p>Perth is entering a new phase of a battle it never wanted to fight: protecting its tree canopy from a beetle no bigger than a sesame seed. After years of rapid spread and thousands of dead trees, officials are shifting from trying to wipe out the polyphagous shot-hole borer to figuring out how to live with it, 7News reported.</p>

</div><h3>What's happening?</h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3>發生了什麼？</h3>
</div><p>Western Australia has redrawn its quarantine map for the entire Perth metropolitan area, marking a major shift from the state's earlier, more aggressive attempts to eliminate the polyphagous shot-hole borer. The insect, first found in Fremantle in 2021, has carved through thousands of trees and forced removals in Hyde Park and Kings Park. With no effective chemical treatments and persistent challenges identifying early infestations, the state formally ended its push for eradication in June.</p>

</div><p>It was a pivot that alarmed experts. The Invasive Species Council warned the decision &#34;could put the rest of the country at risk.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>這一轉變令專家感到震驚。入侵物種委員會警告稱，這一決定 “可能會使全國其他地區面臨風險。”</p>
</div><p>Under the new plan, Perth is now split into two zones: an inner management zone where the borer is firmly established and an outer containment zone where officials hope to stop it from spreading further. The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development will prioritize pruning and removals in the containment area to keep the beetle from reaching regional communities and agricultural corridors.</p>

</div><h3>Why is the borer's spread concerning?</h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3>為什麼甲蟲的傳播令人擔憂？</h3>
</div><p>Invasive species disrupt ecosystems by outcompeting native plants and animals and weakening the landscapes they've long supported. Once this beetle tunnels into a tree, it introduces a fungus that blocks the transport of water and nutrients, slowly starving the tree until it dies. Losing canopy cover affects everything from neighborhood heat levels to wildlife habitat to food-growing conditions.</p>

</div><p>&#34;Early detection and management of high-risk infestations, particularly in the containment zone, remain critical to managing the spread and impact,&#34; DPIRD's Mia Carbon told 7News.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>“早期發現和管理高風險感染，特別是在控制區，仍然對管理傳播和影響至關重要，” DPIRD 的米婭·卡本對 7News 表示。</p>
</div><p>Since native species often have no natural defenses against invaders, delays can give pests a massive advantage. That imbalance threatens biodiversity as well as soil and water health, and it increases the risk of future pest-borne diseases.</p>

</div><h3>What's being done about the borer?</h3>
<div class="lb-trans"><h3>針對甲蟲採取了什麼措施？</h3>
</div><p>DPIRD is working directly with affected property owners, giving them the option of pruning or removing for free trees that were selected during the eradication phase. They may also choose to manage their trees independently with department guidance. The state has committed 4.7 million Australian dollars to local governments in impacted areas and for research into treatment options.</p>

</div><p>Residents can support containment by reporting suspicious tree damage, avoiding moving untreated wood, and choosing native plants to strengthen local ecosystems.</p>
