BIOSECURITY & INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT



Invasive pests and diseases are among the greatest threats to global biodiversity and constitute an unprecedented form of human-induced global change. We are working to promote evidence-based solutions to the management of invasive species, and provide new state-of-the-art technological solutions to their surveillance and control.

Regional economies depend heavily on tourism and trade, which carry unavoidable risks for the introduction of new pests and diseases. We are constructing innovative new pathway tools and surveillance techniques for estimating the risk of future incursions across a broad range of emerging invasive pests and diseases.
