Let’s celebrate World Environment Day!

Celebrate World Environment Day (5th of June) by protecting European native biodiversity from invasive species! Your daily actions can prevent biological invasions. Here is what you can do:

 

• Get to know the nature around you and respect it!
• Sustain native species by avoiding bringing alien species home from your travels - watch this video on Travel guidance to avoid bringing alien plant pests and diseases.
• Make sure that the pet you buy is not an alien species.  
• Join a local group/activity for environmental protection. A community engaged in nature protection can achieve ambitious targets!
• Get involved in Citizen Science and work side by side with experts to help protect European native biodiversity. Use our smartphone App to report invasive species or join one of the many other citizen science projects dealing with invasive species in Europe. 

Join our efforts and do your daily bit to avoid the introduction and spread of non-native species in Europe!
