While their impact and the alarming rate at which they drive biodiversity loss are widely acknowledged, our response remains inadequate. With ecosystems deteriorating rapidly, innovative solutions are needed alongside existing tools to build back biodiversity. There is an urgent need to strengthen biosecurity measures, enhance monitoring and control efforts, and commit to elimination where feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Amphibian-sampling-in-Malcom-Knapp-Research-Forest-British-Columbia-Canada-810x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3548\" style=\"width:356px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Amphibian-sampling-in-Malcom-Knapp-Research-Forest-British-Columbia-Canada-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Amphibian-sampling-in-Malcom-Knapp-Research-Forest-British-Columbia-Canada-540x720.jpg 540w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Amphibian-sampling-in-Malcom-Knapp-Research-Forest-British-Columbia-Canada-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Amphibian-sampling-in-Malcom-Knapp-Research-Forest-British-Columbia-Canada-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Amphibian-sampling-in-Malcom-Knapp-Research-Forest-British-Columbia-Canada-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Amphibian-sampling-in-Malcom-Knapp-Research-Forest-British-Columbia-Canada.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">Dileri Berdeja carrying out amphibian sampling in Malcom Knapp Research Forest, British Columbia, Canada.

Yet, their role in spreading pathogens into vulnerable ecosystems is often underestimated \u2013 posing significant risks to species that lack evolutionary adaptations to such threats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are the key barriers preventing meaningful action against invasive species? In a soon-to-be-published study we explored governments, communities and organizations\u2019 participation in IAS-related management work within freshwater conservation programs. Among the 30 respondent organizations, 26 acknowledged a clear need for IAS elimination within their regions, while only one stated that elimination was unnecessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those organizations actively involved in IAS-related work, efforts ranged from project implementation, knowledge-building, education, surveillance, and citizen science to policy and advocacy. However, our study revealed that 32.5% of respondents were not at all involved in IAS-related work. This led us to ask the question: why is action on invasive species so limited?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several key barriers were identified. Overall, the study found that there was a widespread lack of awareness regarding the impacts of invasive species. Additionally, and perhaps not surprising to many, the lack of funding emerged as the most significant barrier.&nbsp;However, insight into more nuanced influences revealed additional challenges such as the concern for cultural resistance to IAS management, limited technical expertise, and poor inter-organizational communication, which hindered effective support. Other issues included the lack of legal enforcement, which limited the sustainability of IAS elimination efforts, insufficient public knowledge and education, lack of stakeholder collaboration and communication, and a limited integration with global organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/resfer-nando-5o7Gj8l2AOY-unsplash-Copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/resfer-nando-5o7Gj8l2AOY-unsplash-Copy.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/resfer-nando-5o7Gj8l2AOY-unsplash-Copy-1059x720.jpg 1059w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/resfer-nando-5o7Gj8l2AOY-unsplash-Copy-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/genedrivenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/resfer-nando-5o7Gj8l2AOY-unsplash-Copy-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-59ff498ae1c105676c2e132ae12d7dd7\" style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>Seabird populations are threatened by invasive species on islands.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message is clear: we have a tremendous opportunity to prioritize invasive species management as a conservation priority and take decisive action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raising awareness must extend beyond conservation professionals to also include local communities and help foster collective responsibility.
