- W3043175038 abstract "The human-mediated spread of invasive, non-native species (INNS) is a major driver of biodiversity loss and habitat degradation worldwide, threatening ecosystems, food security and sustainable development goals. The impacts of INNS have been particularly acute on small islands due to a lack of ecosystem resilience, limited management capacity and the previous isolation of native and endemic species from predators, diseases and competitors. Removing INNS from impacted island ecosystems where they threaten native biodiversity is critical for meeting obligations under international environmental agreements, and the number of successful eradications is increasing. However, on some islands this is no longer practical for a variety of reasons ranging from constraints imposed by climate, geography and limited capacity and resources, through to a lack of public and political support. On-going control is both costly and time consuming and thus alternative, novel approaches are increasingly being explored to protect biodiversity and livelihoods. In this chapter we discuss challenges and opportunities surrounding the control of INNS using selected case studies from the UK Overseas Territories, which comprise mostly small, isolated islands with high levels of rare, endemic and/or globally important biodiversity. These include Ascension Island in the South Atlantic where a feral cat eradication programme led to a spectacular recovery in seabirds nesting on the mainland, but where deliberate introductions of non-native plant species have fundamentally and irrevocably altered the natural character of the terrestrial environment. Also, Montserrat in the Caribbean with its active volcano faces challenges from INNS, in particular in Exclusion Zones where their impacts go largely unmanaged. We consider the best approaches for developing strategies and implementing effective management actions in this challenging field using examples of best practice, including the world’s largest successful rodent eradication effort on South Georgia and the implementation of a progressive biosecurity programme on St Helena Island which has established a broad base of support through careful stakeholder engagement." @default.
