A prioritisation workshop in Nuku’alofa brought together stakeholders and experts from across Tonga to enhance their invasive weeds management. Hosted by the Natural Enemies - Natural Solutions (NENS) programme and the Tonga Ministry of Meteorology, Energy, Information, Disaster Management, Environment, Climate Change & Communications (MEIDECC), the workshop held in February, aimed to identify priority invasive weeds for future NENS projects.
The NENS programme, part of the Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service (PRISMSS) and hosted by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), supports Pacific Island Countries and Territories in restoring ecological balance using natural enemies from the weeds' native range.
