As the world celebrates International Biodiversity Day on May 22, the Pacific story stands as a powerful reminder that acting locally through coordinated and sustainable community-led invasive species management creates ripples of global impact, strengthening the collective effort to halt biodiversity loss and safeguard our shared future.
The 7th Pacific Invasive Learning Network (PILN) meeting held in Palau concluded with a significant milestone in further strengthening regional collaboration against invasive species. Country representatives came together to share experiences, tools and strategies that are helping them better manage invasive species on the ground, from rat eradication on offshore islands, war on weeds, to community-led awareness campaigns.
