Participants emphasized IAS as a major driver of biodiversity loss. Successful case studies, including Mimosa pigra control and water hyacinth utilization, were presented. The workshop advanced national strategies and intersectoral coordination, highlighting the need for public awareness, community engagement, and international cooperation to safeguard ecosystems and livelihoods.

Across the nation, climate change must be addressed not only through direct mitigation and adaptation, but also through strategic mitigation of threats to the success of those actions. Invasive species are a significant threat to climate preparedness and resilience —their impacts fundamentally alter natural and built systems, reducing society’s ability to adapt to a changing climate.

Invasive species like zebra mussels and goldfish disrupt Canadian lakes, altering ecosystems. Prevention and management are crucial.

BIO honors Dr. Pam Marrone and Dr. Hank Harris for advancing biotech in pest control, sustainability, and animal vaccine development.

This study ranks the 10 most damaging aquatic invasive species in the Great Lakes based on quantified environmental and economic impact.

Invasive species threaten biodiversity. Strong biosecurity, early detection, and global cooperation are key to mitigation efforts.

Invasive species cost $423B yearly, driving extinctions. Prevention, control & restoration can mitigate damage, says UN report.

A UN report warns invasive species drive extinctions and cost billions. Strong biosecurity and cooperation are key to reducing their impact.

Invasive species cost $423B+ yearly, fueling extinctions, spreading disease, and threatening food, water, and ecosystems worldwide.

Invasive species cost $423B yearly, threaten biodiversity, food, and health—climate change and trade accelerate their spread.

Invasive species, fueled by trade & climate change, threaten ecosystems & economies. A new report urges global action to curb their spread.
