To assist Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and others, implement Article 8(h) and
Target 9 of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets:
“By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent
their introduction and establishment”
Users: decision makers and IAS managers in more than 193 countries
GIASIPartnership: the Problem
• Information scattered and difficult to find
• Tools that exist also difficult to find
• Some overlap in delivery between providers
• Information gaps not understood
• Most users not IAS specialists
