Pacific Region Invasive Species Management Support Services (PRISMSS)

27 May 2022 - Invasive weeds are a serious problem we need to deal with in the Pacific if we need to build community resilience to climate change. In this video, we showcase the impacts of Tamaligi during natural disasters and extreme weather events in Samoa, as well as devil's ivy (taro vine) on the forest ecosystems of Niue, highlighting the linkage between invasive species management and building climate resilience in the Pacific.

Samoa officially rekindles its fight against invasive species by incorporating the NENS programme into its management efforts to control widespread invasive weeds in the country. Samoa joins the likes of Cook Islands, Tonga and Niue focusing initially on two invasive weeds, African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata) and Koster’s curse (Clidemia hirta), with more target weeds forthcoming such as the tamaligi.

Pacific Region Invasive Species Management Support Services (PRISMSS)

Session 2 of the Regional Weeds Prioritisation workshop features Quentin Paynter introducing a new prioritisation tool to rank weeds importance. Using natural enemies is often the most cost-effective means of reducing the impacts of invsaive weeds, however it cannot tackle all invasive weeds species in the Pacific, and not all invasive weeds make good targets. So how do we decide which species to target? This is the catalyst of this session.

Session 3 | Considering Climate Change implications

Pacific Region Invasive Species Management Support Services (PRISMSS)

This session links the spread of invasive weeds and climate change. Increased CO2 has a fertilizer effect on plants and invasive weeds respond faster, more strongly as oppose to native species to both CO2 ad increasing temperature. Changes in rainfall may also benefit some weeds under certain circumstances. Invasive vines (lianas) and other disturbance species are likely to become more invasive due to more extreme weather such as cyclones.
