Welcome to the GIASIPartnership

Welcome to the Gateway for the Global Invasive Alien Species Information Partnership (GIASIPartnership).

The GIASIPartnership has come together in order to assist Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and others, implement Article 8(h) and Target 9 of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets – “By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment”

This site will assist scientists, environmental managers, policy-makers and others by providing links to necessary information and a forum to raise issues for discussion.

The site operates by providing links to external sources.  While some of these sources are particularly authoritative (including those provided by the GIASI Partners), the user is advised to check all information.

This site has been developed for the GIASIPartnership and is maintained by the Natural History Museum
