RT @BESNet_UNDP: The correct answer to our #Trivia question is... B!
According to the @IPBES Invasive Alien Species report, invasive species are not only one of the five main drivers of global biodiversity loss, but they are also responsible for 90% of species extinctions on islands.
These species disrupt local ecosystems by outcompeting, preying on or introducing diseases to native species, which often have no natural defenses against these invaders.
This massive impact highlights the critical need for stringent biosecurity measures and effective management strategies to protect island biodiversity.
