Inter-Island/Islet Biosecurity and Environmental Monitoring Systems - PROTEGE

SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation, BRB

Available Online

Biosecurity and environmental monitoring systems were drawn up and implemented between the islands of Futuna and Alofi as well as between Uvea and the islets of Wallis lagoon. These systems aim to prevent the spread of invasive alien species (IAS), in particular to ensure that the benefits of the eradication and restoration initatives carried out as part of the project are susaintable.

Invasive Plant Species Control and Biodiversity Management - PROTEGE

SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation, BRB

Available Online

Actions to control invasive plant species restore biodiversity were carried out at the Taputapuatea UNESCO site located on the island of Raiatea in French Polynesia. By promoting the link between natural and cultural heritage, project has stimulated an ecological management approach aimed at strengthening native, and even endemic flora. Thanks to the coordination work of an ecologist who has been on site for four years, awareness-raising and training activities have strengthened the skills and commitment of local communities. Based on a survey of local biodiversity and the invasive species present, removal actions were carries out on four target plant species before reinstalling heritage plants. One of the restored sites has also been enhanced bu the creation of an educational trail set up by the local association.

Lutte contre les espèces végétales envahissantes et gestion de la biodiversité - Fiches finales de capitalisation - PROTEGE

PROE / SPREP

Des actions de lutte contre les espèces végétales envahissantes et de restauration de la biodiversité ont été menées sur le site UNESCO de Taputapuātea, situé sur l’île de Raiatea en Polynésie française. En valorisant le lien entre les patrimoines naturel et culturel, le projet a impulsé une dynamique de gestion écologique visant à renforcer la flore indigène, voire endémique. Grâce au travail de coordination d’un écologue présent sur le site pendant quatre ans, les actions de sensibilisation et de formation ont permis la montée en compétence et un engagement accru des communautés locales. Sur la base d’un travail de prospection de la biodiversité locale et des espèces envahissantes présentes, des actions de retrait ont été menées sur quatre espèces végétales cibles avant de procéder à la réinstallation de plants patrimoniaux. Un travail de valorisation d’un site restauré a également été réalisé par une association locale, avec l’aménagement d’un sentier pédagogique. Aujourd’hui, les acteurs locaux disposent de compétences renforcées et peuvent s’appuyer sur les équipements et serres fournis afin de poursuivre la production de plants patrimoniaux. La révision du plan de gestion du site UNESCO pourra ainsi bénéficier de leurs capacités, tandis que des financements ponctuels pourraient soutenir des actions à court terme.

Reid, S.

This guide is intended to be used by those working in biosecurity and plant health, and by all those interested in preserving the unique environments and biodiversity found in the Caribbean UKOTs. The guide will not enable the user to identify to species all the invasive invertebrate plant pests that they may encounter, but it does provide advice on how to collect and preserve specimens for further study and where to seek assistance.

Guam invasive species management plan interim 2017-2019: interim

Available Online

The 2017-2019 Interim Guam Invasive Species Management Plan (GISMP) expresses the overarching goals and priorities of the Guam Invasive Species Council (GISC or Council). The Guam Invasive Species Act of 2011 (Public Law 31-43) established the Council as Guams lead entity in coordinating with local, regional, national, and international jurisdic¬tions in the fight against alien invasive species. Although the GISC is in its infancy stages of organization, it draws from the collective knowledge, past research, and progress of its members in establishing the Councils goals and priorities. Priorities and goals identified in this plan reflect current and near-term resources, member capabilities, and status of certain invasive species. Recommendations contained in the Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and Hawaii (RBP), the 2016-2018 National Inva¬sive Species Councils Management Plan, the Regional Invasive Species Council (RISC), and various stakeholders were considered in the development of this plan. The Council also considered developments under the purview of the Hawaii Invasive Species Council and its 2015-2020 HISC Strategic Plan.

Invasive species and human health

Biodiversity Conservation, BRB

Available Online

Mazza, Giuseppe

Tricarico, Elena

Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito levels and thereby the potential for malaria. Covering a wide range of case studies from different taxa (animals and plants), and giving an overview of the diverse impacts of invasive species on health in developed and developing countries, the book is a significant contribution that will help in prioritizing approaches to controlling invasive species and mitigating their health effects. It covers invasive plants, marine species, spiders and other arachnids, ticks and dust mites, insects, mosquitos and other diptera, freshwater species (invertebrates and fishes), amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals.
