Welcome to the Online Discussion Forum on Invasive Alien Species Management to prepare for the upcoming Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) meeting to be held in Montreal, Canada in November 2019 (to be confirmed).

In decision 14/11, the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity at its fourteenth meeting requested the Executive Secretary to facilitate the work of the online forum and the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group to provide advice or develop elements of technical guidance on management measures on invasive alien species to be implemented by broad sectors to facilitate achieving Aichi Biodiversity Target 9 and beyond.

The discussion forum will be open-ended and moderated by designated experts.

Under this forum everyone can post text and reply with comments to each post to discuss on the topic. Everyone can upload files on each post.

The designated moderators and the Secretariat may delete/edit posting if it was inappropriate, referring to decision 14/11 and its annexes. Thanks for your kind understanding and we wish happy discussions.
