Conference Overview
The issue of biological invasion has been identified as a significant environmental challenge over the past few decades, with a particular impact in the fields of conservation biology, forestry, agriculture and fisheries. Invasive alien species (IAS) represent a significant component of this issue in terrestrial, marine, brackish, and freshwater ecosystems worldwide. These include both plants and animals, such as insects and fish, that have been introduced and translocated globally. Biological invasions are increasingly recognised as a major global change that erodes ecosystems, societal well-being, and economies. However, comprehensive analyses of their economic ramifications are lacking for the majority of national economies, despite the rapidly escalating costs observed globally.
Networking and regional cooperation in different scales is crucial for evaluating the impact of IAS and for the development and implementation of proper management measures for IAS and can facilitate the implementation of existing IAS instrumentsin order to protect biodiversity and ecosystems and reduce the social and economic negative effects.
This conference is the sixth one organised jointly in frames of the networks ESENIAS and DIAS, focusing on the topic: ‘Invasive alien species impact and management in agriculture, forestry and aquaculture’. It will highlight the importance of regional cooperation for finding innovative solutions to IAS issues.
