Climate change and disasters raise invasive species threat in Pacific islands
Original: Natural disasters, climate change increase threat from invasive species for Pacific islands
Natural disasters and climate change are increasing the threat invasive species pose to Pacific islands, according to reporting from the region. Storms and shifting climate conditions can help invasive plants and animals spread and take hold, putting pressure on fragile island ecosystems, agriculture and local communities that already face repeated environmental disruptions.
Why now: Rising storm activity and climate impacts across the Pacific are drawing renewed attention to biosecurity risks on the islands.
