Mourning Doug Howick

On behalf of the entire industry, CPCA expressed deep condolences to Mr.Howick.

There's an old saying in China: “Though death befalls all men alike, it may be weightier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.” (Mount Tai, a great and tall mountain in China, symbolizes prestige and nobility) Mr.Howick was an outstanding person who had qualities like “Mount Tai”. He is one of the senior leaders of FAOPMA and made great contribution to pest management, scientific research and communication within our industry. He kept on his career even after he retired. With his own passion and persistence on the research, Mr.Howick edited FAOPMA's electronic newsletter ”PPM NEWS”. It is “PM NEWS” that enable China's pest control industry acquire information from Asia and Oceania in a timely manner. He made great contributions to the international pest control industry.

Mr.Howick was very friendly and kind to his friends and colleagues, and he will live in our heart forever.

Doug Howick

In 1961, Doug was appointed to the Wood Preservation Section of the CSIRO Division of Forest Products. Being involved in all aspects of timber treatment, wood borers and termites, he was responsible for CSIRO’s work associated with the importation of the Sirex Wood Wasp and the European House Borer.  In 1968, this led to the award of a 10-month Churchill Fellowship “An International Study of the incidence, distribution and economic significance of certain wood-destryoying insects having the potential ability to establish in Australia”.  

In 1969, the Division of Forest Products decided to expand its entomological work on assessing wood preservatives and wood susceptibility to various insects.  Having specialised particularly in EHB and the West Indian Drywood Termite during his Fellowship, Doug was given the opportunity to head up that area.   As an Experimental Scientist, he also worked closely with the pest management and timber industries and as a result of this involvement, he was awarded Honorary Membership of the Pest & Weed Control Association of Victoria in 1975 and Life Membership of AEPMA on its formation in 1988.  After some years as Industry Liaison Officer Doug left CSIRO in 1992 as a Senior Specialist and Assistant to the Chief of Division.
 
With his expertise in pest management, termite management, chemical assessments against wood-destroying insects, industry liaison and his networking abilities, it is not surprising that Doug then became National Executive Director of AEPMA for ten years and, partially concurrently, National Secretary of the Timber Preservers Association of Australia (TPAA) for twenty.  

C. D. Howick is author of 60+ scientific papers on various aspects of forest products entomology, wood technology and pest management as well as a further 50+ reports, conference papers, and presentations.

In 2006, he was honoured with the title of Honorary Advisor for the Federation of Asian & Oceania Pest Managers Associations (FAOPMA).  Doug is now the Editor of “PPM News”, the newsletter for FAOPMA, and of the TPAA Newsletter “CONTACT”, both of which are electronically circulated on a bi-monthly basis.

Doug Howick 简 介

1961年，Doug Howick开始在CSIRO森林产品部门下的木材防腐部任职，参与了木材处理、木材蛀虫和白蚁防治的各方面工作，负责澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）有关引进树蜂和欧洲玉米螟的工作。这使他获得了1968年10个月的“丘吉尔奖学金” ，获奖理由是“一项在澳大利亚有建设潜力的研究，它涉及木材蛀虫的发生率，分布范围和经济意义”。

1969年，森林产品部决定拓展其在评估木材防腐度和木材对各种昆虫易感性方面的研究。在Howick先生的奖学金期间，他特别擅长处理EHB和西印度干木白蚁方面的问题，并成为了该领域的带头人。作为一名实验科学家，他还与有害生物防治和木材行业密切合作，并且他凭此于1975年获得维多利亚州害虫防治协会荣誉会员资格，于1988年成为AEPMA成员。Doug担任了多年的行业联络官后，时任高级专家和部门主管助理的Howick先生于1992年离开CSIRO。

凭借在害虫治理、白蚁治理和针对木材蛀虫的化学评估专业知识；行业联络能力以及人脉方面的资源，Howick先生随后担任了10年的AEPMA的全国常务董事，同时兼任了20年的澳大利亚木材保护者协会（TPAA）全国秘书长。

Howick先生著有60多篇关于农林产品昆虫学、木材技术和虫害治理的科研论文，以及50多份报告、研讨会论文和演示稿。

2006年，他荣获亚洲及大洋洲害虫治理者协会联合会（FAOPMA）荣誉顾问的称号。现在，Doug是FAOPMA的时事通讯“PPM新闻”的编辑，以及TPAA新闻通讯“CONTACT”的编辑，两者均以电子版的形式每两个月发送一次。
