Abstract:
The aim of the EU-funded Invasive Species project is to develop an invasive species management model, test it in the field and if it is effective, replicate it into other parts of Vanuatu, including other Pacific Island countries. The project also looks at providing educational/awareness materials on invasive species and how they impact the environment, social and economic aspects of the community and the nation. Furthermore the project aims to provider appropriate strategies to control each of the key invasive species identified. The project also aims to assist the government to strengthen its capacity to control invasive species.
