Abstract
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), currently ratified by over 170 states, is the only globally applicable, legally binding instrument to address the alien species introduction, control and eradication across all biological taxa and ecosystems. Parties are required to prevent the introduction of, control or eradicate those alien species which threaten ecosystems, habitats or species. The CBD’s Conference of the Parties (COP) has designated alien species as a cross-cutting issue to be taken into account in the Convention’s thematic work programmes, such as inland waters, marine and coastal areas biodiversity of dry and sub-humid lands, and forest biological diversity.
