The Entomological Society of Zambia (ESZ) was established in 1981 under the provisions of the Societies Act, CAP 119 of the Laws of Zambia.  The objective of the ESZ is to promote the development, advancement and dissemination of entomological knowledge in all its aspects, particularly, but not exclusively, in relation to insects occurring in the Republic of Zambia. The importance of insects in the environment is seen through their ability to transmit disease agents to both humans and animals, as pests of both food crops and natural vegetation, as beneficial insects in sustaining the vegetation through their pollination roles and they also serve as food sources. Understanding their science is therefore of paramount importance if we are to control or maintain them in the environment.
