Countries:
St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha
Project Summary:
Ascension Island provides a classic example of how difficult and costly it is to control damaging, non-native species once they are established. Prevention is better than cure and through this project cargo and people coming to the island will be vetted and subject to inspection, with staff trained to respond rapidly and eradicate any non-native species detected. As a result, it is hoped Ascension will also become an exemplar for how a small island can act to prevent new introductions.
