Invasive alien species (IAS) are some of the greatest threats to biodiversity loss, and are among the most significant drivers of environmental degradation and change worldwide. IAS reduce crop yields, choke irrigation canals, block hydroelectric dams and reduce the lifespan of development investments. They contribute to social instability and economic hardship, placing constraints on sustainable development, economic growth, poverty alleviation, food security and biodiversity conservation.
