Descripción
Rapidly accelerating trade and travel have allowed both intentional and unintentional movements of plant and animal species between different parts of the globe. The consequences are often unexpected and disastrous. Invasive alien species are regarded as one of the leading threats to natural ecosystems and biodiversity given that the effects are usually irreversible. These proceedings report on the outcome of a meeting held in Bogor, Indonesia from 2 to 5 December 2014 on harmonizing risk assess ment and management of forest invasive alien plant species in Southeast Asia. The report identifies gaps in regional capacities and identifies solutions and good practices aligned with international standards. Conclusions and recommendations as well as country reports and resource papers are included in the report.
