3. Invasive Alien Species
● An invasive species is one that is not indigenous to a specific area
● It has a negative impact on the environment, economy, or human
health.
● Intentionally or unintentionally introduced into a new area.

4. IntergovernmentalPlatformonBiodiversity
andEcosystemServices(IPBES)
● Also known as the "IPCC for biodiversity”/
● An independent intergovernmental body with over 140
member governments.
● Established by governments in 2012
● Provides policymakers with objective scientific
assessments
● Not a United Nations organisation.
● But, UNEP provides secretariat services to IPBES

5. AssessmentReporton
InvasiveAlienSpeciesandtheirControl
● 37000 alien species introduced by human activities
● 60% of global extinctions due to 3500 invasive species
● 6% of introduced plant species
● 22% of introduced invertebrates
● 14% of introduced vertebrates
● 11% of introduced microbes
are recognized as invasive.

6. Major Invasive Species- Water Hyacinth
Water hyacinth is one of the most
invasive plants in the world, and it has
been introduced to over 100 countries.
Water hyacinth can grow rapidly, forming
dense mats that can cover waterways and
disrupt ecosystems. It can also block
sunlight and prevent native plants from
growing.

7. Major Invasive Species- Lantana
Camara
Lantana, a flowering shrub is the second most
common invasive species. Lantana can grow quickly
and form dense thickets that can outcompete native
plants. It can also produce toxic chemicals that can
harm animals and humans.

9. Methods to control invasive species
● Physical removal involves removing the species through
tools or pesticides
● Biological control uses natural predators
● Genetic control introduces sterile genes,
● Cultural control alters human interactions with the
environment to reduce invasive species' habitation.
