Canada —
In April 2011, the Governments of Canada and Ontario collaborated to establish the Invasive Species Centre (ISC). The facility houses the Insect Production and Quarantine Laboratories, the only facility of its kind in Canada dedicated to combating insect pests, both alien and domestic, terrestrial and aquatic, that threaten Canada’s natural resources and ecosystems.

Iraq —
Two national targets have been adopted to address this issue. The country aims to, by the end of 2016, enact legislation to control the introduction and diffusion of non-native species into the natural environment; and, by the end of 2020, publish the list of invasive species in Iraq and their impacts and invasion pathways.

Mauritius —
NBSAP (2017-2025) indicates that very little progress has been made in regard to implementation of the National Invasive Alien Species Strategy and Action Plan (NIASSAP) (2008-2017). Also, the NIASSAP did not identify priorities, responsible agencies, timelines and required resources. Taking this into account, under National Target 9 (which will contribute to ABT9), activities are being carried out to revise and fully implement the NIASSAP by 2025. (NBSAP)

Vietnam —
The Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, with a vision to 2030, promotes the management and control of the risks from IAS, GMOs and their products, to the environment and human health. Planned activities relate to: implementation of the project to “prevent and control invasive alien species to 2020”, approved by the Prime Minister in 2012; investigation of the status of invasive and potentially invasive alien species, on a national scale, with particular emphasis on protected areas, agricultural areas, and forest ecosystems; enhancement of cooperation, exchange, and learning from experience on biosafety management of GMOs; improvement in technical and professional expertise of biosafety management agencies and units at all levels; increasing investment in infrastructure and resources for implementation of measures to monitor and control the risks of GMOs to the environment and biodiversity; development and promulgation of legal documents on redress and liability in biosafety management activities of GMOs; assessment of the status of the release of GMOs and products containing GMOs to the environment, and their appearance in the market.

Romania —
NBSAP 2014-2020 contains 14 actions to control invasive species, respectively linked to responsible institutions, implementation periods, estimated budgets, financing sources, level of priority and performance indicators. High priority is given to the following 6 actions: preparation of a national list of invasive species; preparation and adoption of technical regulations related to the introduction and control of allochthonous species originating from bordering areas and/or areas where exotic species are spread; providing that Romania ratifies the Convention on Ballast Water Management, subsequent development of implementation measures; elaboration of management plans for access routes presenting the highest risk; implementation of plans for the management of access routes presenting the highest risk; assessment of the risk that invasive species have upon autochthonous ones in order to identify and prioritize management options.

Brazil —
National Target 9 of the NBSAP is mapped to ABT9 and aims to, by 2020, fully implement the National Strategy on IAS, with state participation, and elaborate a National Policy on IAS. There are 29 actions addressing extensive issues, assigned to different groups. Actions being led by the MMA Secretariats, MMA agencies, Ministries/ Special Secretariats/Public Corporations, and institutions connected to the Ministries, respectively include: revision and updating of the legal framework and development and editing of IAS inventories by habitat (marine, freshwater and terrestrial); implementation of a system for detecting IAS in protected areas, and monitoring IAS in protected areas; implementation of various actions for the control of the vector Aedes aegypti; and updating of the National Report on IAS that affect human health. State Environmental Agencies are leading work on numerous actions, including: definition of municipal directives for the management of IAS; creation of the Alien Species Control Committee; implementation of the State Program for the Valuation of Native Plant Species, according to the State Law adopted in 2016. Activities being undertaken by NGOs pertain to inter alia the promotion of data production for the National Policy on IAS, and development and implementation of an integrated information system on IAS.

Belgium —
The National Strategy to 2020 contains 4 operational objectives linked to achieving ABT9 and Target 5 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, focusing on: investigation and monitoring of the effects and causes of IAS activities and processes, including new and emerging risks; identification and prioritization of IAS pathways, control or eradication of priority species, implementation of measures to manage pathways; ensuring that the production of plants including inter alia non-indigenous plants for renewable energy does not negatively impact on biodiversity; and consideration of the potential impact on biodiversity and in particular the invasiveness of species in making import and export decisions. The country’s complex institutional organization adds to the challenge of addressing IAS matters (e.g. environment, health, agriculture) in an integrated manner. The Strategy underscores the urgent need for concrete steps to be taken to address this situation, as well as the need to develop coordinated action plans as necessary. (NBSAP)

Egypt —
Outcomes to date towards the achievement of National Target 4 “By 2030, all IAS and pathways are identified and prioritized with measures in place to update and verify these pathways, with national programmes for 30% of identified pathways to control and manage IAS” include: preparation of a national action plan, in accordance with CBD guidelines and those of the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA) of UNEP/MAP, and its validation in 2017. Consequently, a survey along the Suez Canal and the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea was conducted four times in two years. This programme aims to establish a database of marine organisms, their environmental origins, their paths and methods of transport, their environmental and socioeconomic impacts, as well as physio-chemical characteristics of the Suez Canal and the Egyptian Mediterranean Sea.

Papua New Guinea —
The provisions of the Marine Pollution (Ballast Water Control) Act (2013) are to prevent, reduce and control the introduction of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens to national waters via ships’ ballasts and water sediments. The Act also incorporates national laws related to implementation of relevant international treaties. The National Agriculture Quarantine Inspection Authority (NAQIA) is the agency responsible for national biosecurity at the border, concentrating on the main entry points and conducting vessel/wharf and aircraft/airport inspections.

Bulgaria —
Bulgaria has published an atlas on IAS of EU concern, in relation to the EU Regulation (2016), adopting a list of IAS of EU concern, and the EU Regulation on IAS (2014). In 2015, National Standard 7 of the National Standards for Good Agricultural and Ecological Status of the Land was adopted by the Minister of Agriculture and Food, aiming to prevent the introduction of unwanted vegetation, namely, the eagle fern (Pteridium aquilinum), hellebore (Veratrum spp.), tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and amorphа (Amorpha fruticosa), in existing permanent grasslands and meadows. Annex 8 of the National Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Standard for Responsible Forest Management (2016) lists invasive alien tree and bush species in Bulgaria that should not be used for afforestation in FSC-certified units. Bulgaria is a member of the East and South-European Network of Invasive Alien Species (ESENIAS). It is also a member of the Danube Region Invasive Alien Species Network (DIAS) which is represented by 15 countries. DIAS is currently finalizing the IAS Strategy and Action Plan for the Danube Region which has been prepared within the framework of the EU Strategy on IAS. (6NR)

Dominica —
Regional cooperation is taking place through participation in the project on preventing costs of IAS in Barbados and countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The project began in late 2018 and aims to improve prevention, early detection, control and management frameworks for IAS in these countries, employing a risk management approach and focusing on highest risk invasion pathways. In addition, the NGO WildDominique began two projects in 2018 to control the spread of Iguana iguana, which threatens the native, regionally endemic and critically endangered Iguana delicatissima, and to eradicate the invasive Cuban tree frog. These invasives were recorded in Dominica only after Hurricane Maria in 2017. Both projects include activities on surveying and mapping, and on building local capacity to assist with identifying and capturing these species, and engagement with international organizations. The NGO WildDominique is also currently in discussion with the Government and a private landowner regarding the construction of a conservation area for the Mountain Chicken Frog (Leptodactylus fallax), another critically endangered native species, whose largest wild population is found in Dominica, and that is also put at risk by the spread of Iguana iguana and the Cuban tree frog.

Netherlands —
IAS is considered a major threat to the terrestrial and marine environments in the Caribbean Netherlands (Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten). While a draft IAS strategy for the islands has been prepared, no actions have been implemented in this regard to date. IAS inventories are available. In Aruba, the Lion Fish Foundation conducts lionfish control and the Arikok National Park is carrying out measures to control the invasive boa constrictor (snake) population. In Sint Maarten, the Nature Foundation is implementing a programme to control lionfish and has a Lionfish Response Plan. Dive operators in Curaçao are also actively involved in lionfish control.
