"Invasive alien species are driving biodiversity loss and extinctions in every
country, all over the world.

Responding to the challenge, the United Nations is today releasing the first
global assessment of invasive alien species and their control.

It comes from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and
Ecosystem Services (IPBES), which represents almost 140 member states.

Over four years, 86 expert authors from 49 countries gathered the latest
scientific evidence and Indigenous and local knowledge on invasive alien
species. The report draws on more than 13,000 references, including
governmental reports. We were among the authors. Here are some of the key
insights for Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand."
