The overall objective of this Strategy is to eliminate and reduce the introduction of invasive species for the protection of the environment, economy, human welfare and human health. The conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity will be incorporated into the policies related to agriculture, forestry, fisheries, land, aquaculture, mariculture, horticulture, transport, trade, and tourism. The impact of invasive species will be assessed at the national level and measures will be taken to combat invasion and prevent the risk of displacement and extinction of native species and habitats from invasion by non-native plants and animals. Public awareness and involvement will be increased in addressing critical environmental issues, such as biodiversity, biotechnology, energy, resource supply and climate change.
