Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP)

The Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) is an international initiative aimed at reducing the negative impacts of invasive species on biodiversity, ecosystems, and human health. Invasive species are non-native organisms that can disrupt local ecosystems, outcompete native species, and cause significant economic damage. GISP works to improve awareness, research, and policies related to invasive species, fostering collaboration among countries and organizations. By sharing knowledge and best practices, GISP helps protect natural environments and promote sustainable management of ecosystems worldwide. Their ultimate goal is to safeguard biodiversity and enhance ecosystem resilience against invasions.
