The workshop, held in Panama City, brought together technical representatives from 13 nations to exchange knowledge, strategies and practical approaches for preventing the introduction of invasive alien species (IAS) and managing their impact on biodiversity, ecosystems, livelihoods and local economies.
Co-organised by IUCN and its Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the Species Survival Commission, alongside the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the workshop combined expert presentations and facilitated sessions with a range of practical exercises, creating an interactive platform for participants to share real-world case studies and critically reflect on their national experiences with IAS.
