Tackling invasive non-native species

Our work to tackle invasive non-native species

Invasive non-native species – also known as INNS or invasive species – are one of the top five drivers of biodiversity loss globally. Their spread threatens the survival of our native species, and can cause damage to our environment, economy, our health and the way we live. We are working to reduce the impact of invasive non-native species on nature in North Wales and beyond.
