International and National Tools and Obligations against Invasive Alien Insect Species: Indian Scenario
Keywords:
Invasive Alien Species (IAS), trade, international tools, national obligationsAbstract
Invasive alien insect species upholds excessive dimensions to disturb and upset the ecological equilibrium by invading into the new areas/habitation. It is noticed when an aggressive species invade/encroach in new ecosystem, it may not have local natural enemy system/predator and these hostile species therefore spread rapidly and take precedence on indigenous flora and fauna. International market has opened the windows for global trade in agricultural produce, which has facilitated the global movement (pathway) of alien species and high rate of introduction of invasive species into non-native ecosystems. Different international and national agencies are playing significant role in safe trade of agricultural products to regulate and so prevent the introduction and spread of exotic/alien species and are devoted to avert the movement of alien species across the countries.
