EASIN - European Alien Species Information Network
Stand up for European biodiversity!
It is peak season for alien species, also known as non-native species to Europe, whether highly invasive or not. Plants and shrubs are blooming, animals and insects are buzzing around. Take the chance to spot them near your living place, in parks and natural areas, to help protecting biodiversity.
It is peak season for alien species, also known as non-native species to Europe, whether highly invasive or not.
Plants and shrubs are blooming, animals and insects are buzzing around. Take the chance to spot them near your living place, in parks and natural areas, to help protecting biodiversity.
It will not be difficult to stumble, as an example, on Himalayan balsam, the Tree of heaven, Lousiana crayfish, or the like. If you noticed something unusual, like species considered of Union concern, please report to your local authorities or national competent authorities in charge of the implementation of EU Regulation 1143/2014.
You can find technical information and identification factsheets in several national websites, on EASIN data partners network websites, and specifically tailored on invasive alien species of Union concern on the EASIN App Invasive Alien Species Europe (Android, iOS).
