🐜Possible new introductions of non-native insects in Cyprus

🚩In the framework of the project DPLUS124, funded by the Darwin Initiative, we have set out to create information sources to raise awareness and develop alert/rapid response schemes for invasive non-native species likely to arrive and establish at SBAs.

📝As a result, we have compiled summary sheets for non-native species not yet detected on the island both in Greek and in English presenting these species' morphology, habitats and impacts.

🆘The presented species have been prioritized based on horizon scanning exercises performed on the island (Peyton et al. 2019, 2020) and updated lists of "invasive alien species of Union Concern" and the list of the "100 of the world's worst invasive alien species".
