In 2026, Emerald Ash borers continue killing Ash Trees across North America; How one tiny beetle is transforming forests ⁩

The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a jewel coloured, invasive beetle originating from Asia, which has posed a real problem for ash trees ever since it appeared on the scene back in 2002, near Detroit, Michigan. Since then it has been spreading throughout the United States and Canada, with reports saying that it has already killed hundreds of millions of ash trees.
