This document discusses the importance of biosecurity practices to reduce the spread of invasive alien species through various pathways. It provides examples of harmful invasive species and their impacts. Research and fieldwork are highlighted as major pathways that can transport invasive species unintentionally. The document advocates for raising awareness of biosecurity protocols like check, clean, and dry among researchers and other sectors. Embedding biosecurity training across universities and research institutes is suggested to help reduce the spread and costs of invasive species to the environment.
