Come and be part of a global voice for wild plants and fungi
Fungi are crucial to nearly all life on Earth, but they are not given the recognition they deserve. Will you join our mission to change that?

Control and monitor the impact of invasive species on native plants.
6 (a) Develop or strengthen early warning and monitoring and tracking systems, including public awareness programmes, at the national and international levels, to prevent, manage and eradicate potentially invasive alien species that affect or may affect native plants and their ecosystems, and put in place measures to manage pathways of introduction.
6 (b) Address the detrimental impact of invasive alien species on plant diversity and ecosystems by undertaking control or eradication measures, with a focus on areas important for plant diversity and considering the impacts of climate change.
“These Actions seek to address biological invasions as a phenomenon and not just focus on the individual invasive alien species (IAS). It must be noted that many pests and pathogens impacting plants are often IAS. It therefore combines both the invasion of the alien species (of plants, animals or micro-organisms) and the reactions of ecosystems or habitats into which they are introduced. The species often dubbed “alien” may not always become invasive when introduced to new localities, ecosystems or habitats. Sometimes they develop invasive traits subsequently or following climate change.”
Reduce the Introduction of Invasive Alien Species by 50% and Minimize Their Impact
“Eliminate, minimize, reduce and or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services by identifying and managing pathways of the introduction of alien species, preventing the introduction and establishment of priority invasive alien species, reducing the rates of introduction and establishment of other known or potential invasive alien species by at least 50 per cent, by 2030, eradicating or controlling invasive alien species especially in priority sites, such as islands.”
