Fun activities for the young: Become an “Alien Detective”!

The Scottish Invasive Species Initiative launched a series of quizzes, crafts, puzzles, games and other activities to raise awareness about the negative impact of invasive alien species on biodiversity. The educational resources are aimed at primary school students, offering numerous indoors and outdoors activities. Have fun with your family, friends or students and even earn an “Alien Detectives Certificate”.

Invasive species are the second greatest cause of plant and animal species loss globally. One of the potential application of gene drive is to help protect biodiversity by reducing populations of invasive species on islands.
