Description:
Member States of the United Nations have recognized the critical role of biological diversity in maintaining ecosystems providing essential services for sustainable development and human well-being, acknowledging that the severity of global biodiversity loss has been having detrimental impacts on food security, nutrition, access to water, health of the rural poor and people worldwide. Introduction of alien invasive species represents one of the major causes for biodiversity loss in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments, but still remains a largely unmanaged problem.
The first part of the course will address the causes and effects of biological invasions, with a focus on the role of globalisation and the continuous transfers of people and goods across the planet. Subsequently, an overview of policies and management actions undertaken to limit biological invasions will be presented, along with a critical appraisal on their limitation and challenges of scientific, technical, social and political nature.
