Defra report: assessing the achievements of local action groups in tackling invasive non-native species
Since 2011, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has funded a network of local action groups in England (GB) to manage aquatic and riparian invasive non-native species. The local action groups, comprised of volunteers, charities and other partners, have worked throughout the country to prevent, detect and mitigate impacts of invasive alien species coupled with building awareness and understanding throughout the community. The report, which was recently published, highlights successes and blockages to progress and makes recommendations to how these groups can achieve long term sustainability. The report can be downloaded via the link below.
