• 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.
• Over four years, 86 expert authors from 49 countries gathered the latest scientific evidence and Indigenous and local knowledge on invasive alien species.

Hope in the face of increasing threats

• This triggered further assessment to determine the current global state of biological invasions, the effectiveness of our existing responses, and recommended management and policy options.
• The world faces increasing biosecurity threats, but effective management can prevent or lessen the extent of subsequent biological invasions.

The experience in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand

• Aotearoa New Zealand has almost 900.
• Aotearoa New Zealand suffers from invasive Australian possums.
• Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand have among the highest modern global native species extinction rates.
• Australia is the worst in the world for mammals, while Aotearoa New Zealand has experienced tragic loss in endemic birds, largely due to invasive species.

Coordinate, consult and prioritise

• But to do so, we’ll need coherent policy across primary production and logistic sectors, better education and greater public awareness.
• We need to coordinate and prioritise our efforts, from offshore ports to border control and quarantine, through to eradication or containment of any new pests and weeds.
• This cuts red tape for businesses that manage import risks and produce pre-costed and co-designed emergency response agreements.
• Australia’s approach to rabbit control using a virus was a world-first and it remains in use 70 years later.

One world, ‘One Biosecurity’

• Frequent interceptions of pests, weeds, and diseases at our border highlight the pressure we are under.
• We will have to simply become smarter, more effective, and better coordinated across the human, animal, plant and ecosystem health sectors.
• Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand can play a much stronger leadership role in managing biosecurity risks in the Pacific.
