Invasive alien species pose 
a substantial threat to 
livelihoods and food security 
around the world. They can, for 
example, manifest as destructive crop 
or forest pests or displace species 
targeted by fisheries. They are an 
important driver of biodiversity loss 
and hence a threat to the various 
ecosystem services that support 
agricultural production and sustainable 
livelihoods.
