The economic costs of biological invasions in Africa: a growing but neglected threat?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this study, we relied on the recently developed InvaCost database – the most comprehensive repository on the monetised impacts of invasive alien species worldwide – to produce the first synthesis of economic costs of biological invasions on the African continent. We found that the reported costs of invasions ranged between US$ 18.2 billion and US$ 78.9 billion between 1970 and 2020. The reported costs were mostly driven by damage caused by invaders rather than expenses incurred for management. Our study provides support for developing and implementing preventive measures as well as integrated post-invasion management actions at both national and regional levels. Considering the complex societal and economic realities in African countries, the currently neglected problem of biological invasions should become a priority for sustainable development.
