Managing pest animals and weeds

Invasive species pose a serious threat to our landscapes. They reduce biodiversity, harm native wildlife and affect the health of our landscapes, including national parks and protected areas, while also driving production losses and increasing costs for farmers and land managers. In some situations, overabundant native species can also cause significant damage to vegetation, soils and agricultural production if not appropriately managed.
