Early detection and rapid response (EDRR)

Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) is a strategy used to identify invasive species or emerging threats quickly and take swift action to control or eliminate them. This approach involves monitoring ecosystems regularly, recognizing early signs of a problem, and implementing targeted efforts before the issue becomes widespread or more difficult to manage. EDRR helps protect native plants, animals, and environments by preventing the establishment or spread of harmful species, saving resources, and reducing ecological damage through prompt intervention.
