Australia has an urgent invasive species problem. Invasive species pose the greatest threat to our native plants and animals – even greater than climate change.
While we can understand the rationale of consolidating biosecurity with food safety into one strategy and understand the relation and influence between them, it is our view that this removes the clear and targeted focus on biosecurity that the previous strategy communicated effectively.
We support efforts to strengthen the national biosecurity system, with particular focus on prevention and early action to prevent detrimental impacts on the Australian environment from invasive plants, animals and diseases.
The founding partners of the Biosecurity Collective welcome today’s release of Australia’s first National Biosecurity Strategy, which marks the start of transformative change to the Australian biosecurity system.
Varroa mites were detected in two of six sentinel hives at the Port of Newcastle, NSW, on 22 June. As of the latest official update on 27 July, there are now 43 known infested premises across central-eastern and north-eastern NSW.
Today’s announcement of a NSW Government $32.9 million investment in biosecurity for Lord Howe will ensure the island stays rodent free.
As the Invasive Species Council celebrates 20 years, a major milestone was achieved – we co-hosted Australia’s second ever Biosecurity Symposium
Invasive species are driving massive loss of the natural world, globally and in Australia. The projections predict the pressures driving these impacts will only increase. A stronger, risk-based biosecurity system that seeks to involve all Australians is essential to limit this loss and move Australia towards ecological recovery.
Cat-lover or not, none of us can escape the devastating impacts feral and pet cats are having on Australia’s wildlife.
There’s a federal election slated for May this year, and we have one word at the top of our priority list.
Our election guide to what needs to be done to tackle the #1 threat to our environment.
Does the promise of a zero extinction target in NSW mean native wildlife will get the protection they deserve from the impacts of feral horses?
Overall, we strongly endorse the draft implementation plan for the Priority Exotic Environmental Pests List. However, a few important gaps in the plan need to be addressed.
We pay tribute to Ian Thompson, Australia’s first Chief Environmental Biosecurity Officer.
Our submission to the Victorian Parliament’s Inquiry into Ecosystem Decline in Victoria includes recommendations that would see strong progress towards reducing the impacts of invasive species.
