Vertebrates
The toolkit provides guidance on eradication and biosecurity for invasive non-native rodents, but not actions to further promote wider island restoration or ecosystem recovery. It currently does not provide advice on eradication/ biosecurity for other invasive non-native vertebrates aside from invasive rodent species.
Non-native species
Visit the gallery for images of non-native species, biosecurity and management that are available for use. View identification sheets for over 60 non-native species. Find resources on management of some of the most common invasive non-native species.
International
Invasive non-native species are among the main drivers of biosecurity loss worldwide (IPBES 2023). These pages provide links to international initiatives that aim to help tackle this threat.
Field workers
Take free online training in identification, recording and biosecurity. Thank you for helping to protect the environment.
Cyprus Sovereign Base Areas
Biosecurity In 2017 a biosecurity gap analysis (PDF) was completed. There are no border controls to the SBAs themselves, only between the north and south parts of the Republic of Cyprus. These do not include biosecurity controls, except in the event of public health outbreaks such as bird flu.
Non-native Species News: Issue 5
Tackling Invasive Non-Native Species in the UK Overseas Territories (The OT Biosecurity Project) The UK Overseas Territories (OTs) encompass some of the greatest biodiversity in the world, accounting for 94% of the UK’s endemic biosecurity.
Our partners
Current Be Plant Wise partners include:
Aquatic Biosecurity Partnership
The Be Plant Wise campaign is currently funded by nine water companies through the Aquatic Biosecurity Partnership .
St Helena
Biosecurity In 2017 a biosecurity gap analysis (PDF) was completed. St Helena Island is one of the territories with the greatest biosecurity capacity having been the subject of a recent 4-year project to build capacity in biosecurity in anticipation of air access.
Marine Pathways Group
In addition, the project investigated biosecurity measures which may be implemented to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of NNS, as well as conducting research into eradication, control and management strategies which will play a role in elimination or reducing spread of NNS in the event of an introduction.
