Project description
A unified approach to combat invasive alien species
Invasive alien species pose threats to ecosystems, agriculture and human health. Fragmented responses and policies often undermine effective management, highlighting the need for cohesive strategies. In this context, the EU-funded OneSTOP project will develop an innovative and cohesive approach to biosecurity. By integrating cutting-edge detection methods and citizen science, OneSTOP seeks to enhance identification, early detection and surveillance of invasive species. The project prioritises stakeholder engagement and robust models to inform harmonised policies, fostering collaboration across local, national and regional scales. Ultimately, OneSTOP aims to deliver transformative results that minimise the introduction and spread of these harmful species, contributing to a more secure and resilient environment, aligned with recent recommendations for biological invasion governance.
Objective
The overarching objective of OneSTOP is to pioneer an innovative and joined-up approach to biosecurity for terrestrial invasive alien species, strengthening the interconnections between animal, plant, human and environmental health. OneSTOP aims to harness current technologies and citizen science, while overcoming challenges posed by dispersed and fragmentary processes, policies, and knowledge, to deliver methods for identification, early detection and surveillance of invasive alien species. OneSTOP aims to achieve transformative results to minimise the introduction, establishment and spread of invasive alien species by integrating cutting-edge detection methods, underpinned by prioritisation and robust models, alongside stakeholder engagement to inform harmonised policies and facilitate knowledge exchange. The outcomes will be relevant for invasive alien species policy, noting the importance of enhancing collaboration and coordination across local, national, and regional scales, recognising that geographic boundaries do not confine the impact of these species. By adopting a holistic and interconnected approach, OneSTOP seeks to establish a strategy to achieve rapid and transformative progress in detecting, eradicating and controlling invasive alien animals and plants, ultimately contributing to a more secure and resilient environment. Throughout, OneSTOP is based upon the strategic actions recommended for integrated governance of biological invasions in the recently published IPBES Thematic assessment report on invasive alien species and their control (IPBES 2023).
