What guarantees are there that the forest caterpillar hunter won't die out again?
There is no guarantee. Firstly, on the basis of a habitat map which the Institute for Nature and Forestry Research (INBO) will create for this project, we will find the most suitable locations for the forest caterpillar hunter. They will probably survive at these locations. If this is not the case, there is an option to continue cultivating the species and releasing it at locations which are struggling with issues caused by the oak processionary. We hope to know more about this subject area by the end of the project.
