In 2016 the project Tackling Invasive Non-Native Species in the UK Overseas Territories was initiated, funded through the FCOs Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). The project objective is to improve the biosecurity of the OTs against invasive non-native species to improve their environmental resilience and food security; achieved through reducing the risk and impact of invasion and natural hazards via technical assistance and capacity building. In order to plan the appropriate capacity building activities a gap analysis was carried out between January and March 2017 on biosecurity practices and capacity in all 16 UK OTs.

Reid, S.

The purpose of this guide is to provide simple factsheets on priority invasive alien pests that currently threaten plant health, human health and/or biodiversity in the Pitcairn Islands (Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands), a UK Overseas Territory located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It also identifies the main pathways of introduction so that biosecurity inspections can be targeted. The guide is intended to be used by those working in biosecurity, and by all those interested in preserving the unique environments and biodiversity found in the Pitcairn Islands. The guide will not enable the user to accurately confirm the identity of the species of suspected invasive alien pest included in this guide, and further assistance will be required from a relevant specialist.
