Control of Invasive Alien Species in New Caledonia | Website

Abstract

In New Caledonia, where the rate of endemism within the flora and fauna is exceptional, invasive alien species have been a concern for several decades. And for good reason : the tropical climate favors the establishment of a wide variety of potentially invasive alien species; extreme climatic events contribute to their dissemination on the territory; the development of activities and exchanges between countries increases the risk of introducing new species representing a threat to the environment.
