Invasive species and pathogens reduce native animal populations
#00343
Invasive alien species—introduced predators, competitors, parasites, pathogens, and disease vectors—cause mortality, reduce reproduction, and alter food webs, driving decline in native animal populations with little resilience.
#00352Establish disease surveillance, treatment and biosecure refuges
Detect wildlife disease early, reduce transmission and apply validated treatment or biosecure refuge measures to prevent outbreaks from eliminating threatened populations.
#00351Control invasive predators and maintain biosecurity
Eradicate or suppress invasive predators where feasible, then prevent reinvasion through surveillance, quarantine, rapid response and long-term local biosecurity.
