Pacific delegates have reaffirmed the urgent need to transform science into practical solutions in the fight against invasive plants, following their participation in the 17th International Conference on the Ecology and Management of Alien Plant Invasions (EMAPI), held 2–5 September at Lincoln University, Christchurch.
The event gathered over 160 experts from more than 25 countries under the theme “From Ecology to Action: Innovative Solutions for Plant Invasion Management.” Sessions showcased cutting-edge research, biological control breakthroughs, and community-led initiatives aimed at halting the ecological damage caused by invasive species.
