An Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Northern Ireland

The current threats posed by invasive species in Northern Ireland are significant. In response to these threats the Department of Environment has developed the Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Northern Ireland. The overarching strategic aim of the Strategy is to minimise the risk posed, and reduce the negative impacts caused, by invasive alien species in Northern Ireland. Increasing awareness and understanding of the risks and issues involved in tackling invasive alien species is a central overarching issue.
