LIFEATIAS-LIFE18 NAT/GR/000430
The project targets the establishment of the necessary framework to address the threat of Invasive Alien Species (IAS). IAS have officially been identified as threats to biodiversity in the Union Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 and the Greek National Strategy for Biodiversity for the period 2014 – 2029. Also, the EU Regulation on IAS, which entered into force in 2015, provided a Europe-wide framework for action to prevent, minimize and mitigate their adverse impacts.
The extent and consequences of IAS is becoming clear at EU level. The project aims to kick-start the first targeted effort for IAS detection
and management in Greece.
