Building the natural resilience of Palau is at the root of a War on Weeds programme in the island nation. Five species of high priority weeds will be the target, namely Praxelis (Praxelis clematidea), African tulip (Spathodea campanulata), water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), chain of love (Antogonon leptopus) and the giant reed (Arundo donax). These weeds pose high risks to Palau with high potential to invade and transform the nature of ecosystems over a substantial area.
