Biosecurity and Public Awareness

An essential part of conservation is biosecurity; this covers the prevention, detection, and control of non-native species that may be harmful to our own native species.

More information on biosecurity can be found here.

A vital part of SISI is increasing public awareness of invasive plants and animals. Events delivered to date have included displays at shows, public talks, and school activities. Specific biosecurity awareness talks have been provided for anglers, swimmers, and kayakers. The pupils from local primary schools created excellent posters which were displayed at these biosecurity events.
