What are the most effective ways to prevent invasive species from spreading?

Important to understand how they interact with native species, how quickly/slowly they spread and what control methods are available and how those control methods impact the native vegetation and related species.

Au-delà du répertoire officiel des plantes dites invasives il convient de bien comprendre qu’une plante n’est invasive que parce que les conditions lui sont favorables, en soi la plante n’est pas plus invasive qu’une autre elle se développe facilement dans les conditions qu’on lui offre. Partant de la, on peut mettre en place des méthodes qui permettent de recréer un écosystème avec les nouvelles venues plutôt que chercher à tous prix de les éradiquer ce qui fonctionne rarement et aboutit souvent à une recrudescence de l’espèce concernée ( par exemple la renouée du Japon qui se multiplie très rapidement va moins envahir si on se contente de faire paître des chèvres à proximité plutôt que de vouloir faucher ou arracher)

The Lionfish, specifically Pterois miles, pose a significant threat to the Caribbean. To prevent their spread, we have implemented effective strategies such as hunting competitions for recreational divers and partnering with local fishers in Montserrat to purchase despined Lionfish for a seafood restaurant I owned. I believe utilizing new technologies like underwater drones, eDNA, and BRUVs to identify hotspots can aid in developing innovative approaches. It is crucial for all marine stakeholders, including individuals, communities, and governments, to work together to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species through public awareness and supporting research and collaboration.

Importantly Invasive is not Alien as the environment suits the specie to invade and rule over the natives and flourish. Therefore quicker identification of such species, calibration of ecological balance data to identify the weaklings and apply remedies to strengthen them or build and provide reasons for monitoring and control invasion. With AI and smart sensing sub-soil topology ecology etc digitalization is able to deliver predictive and accurate utilitarian analysis today. Certain invasive species may act as boons e.g. Eucalyptous yarn is a great alternative to cotton or silk yarn. Bamboo helps in controlling forest fire while Bamboo charcoal may create a green energy economy resource - therefore informed and calculated decision is key.

Espécies exóticas invasoras são plantas que estão fora de sua área de distribuição, que ameaçam habitats e a diversidade biológica. Podem ser espécies naturais de outros países ou espécies de fauna ou flora de outras regiões do mesmo país, que se comportam como invasoras em outra região. No Brasil, o ICMBIO e outros órgãos ambientais têm listas para auxiliar na identificação dessas espécies.

Je parlerais plutôt de plantes endémiques pour aménager un espace en tenant compte des évolutions climatiques. Plus on favorise la bonne installations de plantes locales, plus on limite la propagation de plantes dites invasives

Il y a un bon moyen pour traiter les produits de taille et d’arrachage de plantes dites invasives : il faut créer un compost dédié et le laisser fermenter au maximum ce qui empêche la multiplication et produit au final un terreau utilisable

Os impactos sobre a biodiversidade causados por invasões biológicas é enorme e para reduzir, é necessário uma abordagem interdisciplinar e o envolvimento de todas as esferas do governo, empresas e sociedade civil. No Brasil, temos a Estratégia Nacional para Espécies Exóticas Invasoras e seu Plano de Implementação, que consolidam as diretrizes e decisões da Convenção de Diversidade Biológica e estabelecem como prosseguir. O Plano é embasado em diversas instituições e setores do governo e sociedade civil e é instrumento prático e aplicável.
