Description
Invasive alien species are a major driver of biodiversity loss, causing environmental and economic damage and can also facilitate the outbreak and spread of infectious disease. This funding is available for projects that contribute to the objective of the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 on protecting and restoring nature by addressing invasive alien species.
Objectives:
Results of the project are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
- The establishment of alien species accidently introduced in the EU environment is minimised and where possible they are eradicated,
- Early warning systems to inform relevant stakeholders of the introduction of invasive alien species, building upon EASIN,
- The introduction of invasive alien species is effectively prevented and established ones are systemically managed,
- Public awareness, literacy and engagement, on invasive alien species monitoring and management are supported and improved,
- Pressure on species on the Red List threatened by invasive alien species is reduced, contributing to the following key commitment of the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 “a 50% reduction in the number of Red List species threatened by invasive alien species”.
