Pest reporting is a key component of the National Reporting Obligations (NROs) under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). Prompt and transparent sharing of pest information helps prevent the introduction and spread of quarantine pests worldwide. Many countries meet these obligations through the International Phytosanitary Portal (IPP) and others through national or regional web-based systems. If your country uses such a system, we encourage you to inform the IPPC Secretariat.

Pest Alerts and Emerging Pests
The IPPC’s Pest Outbreak and Alert Response System (POARS) includes pest alerts and information about emerging pest threats. For more details, visit: Pest Outbreak Alert and Response System (POARS) - International Plant Protection Convention
Enhancing pest reporting collaboration
We encourage NPPOs to continue their reporting efforts through the IPP by logging in as Official Contant Point (OCP), navigating to the country page dashboard, providing the necessary information, and submitting the pest report.
If your NPPO uses a different platform or national system to report pest outbreaks, please inform the IPPC Secretariat by writing to [email protected] and copying [email protected].
Capacity Development Opportunity
We also invite you to explore the Plant Health Campus – the IPPC’s new centralized platform offering online learning opportunities, resources, and training to strengthen national and regional capacities in plant health. This includes dedicated content to support the implementation of National Reporting Obligations (NROs) and effective pest surveillance and reporting.
