Invasive alien species - plants, animals or 
microorganisms that are introduced intentionally or 
unintentionally into areas where they are not native 
- remain one of the most striking symptoms of the adverse 
effect of human activities on our natural world. They not only 
contribute to wildlife species extinctions, but also pose a 
rapidly growing risk to progress on the Global Goals - 
affecting entire ecosystems, economies and food security to 
human health, wellbeing, and livelihoods.
