INVASIVE SPECIES IN IRELAND

Invasive species pose a significant threat to our native wildlife and the
functioning of our ecosystems. Through prevention, early detection, rapid
response, eradication and control measures, we can reduce the risk of their
introduction, establishment, spread and impact. This website has been developed
to provide information and resources to learn more about invasive species,
report your sightings and record action taken on invasive species throughout
Ireland.
