Invasive species hit the Global South significantly harder than previously assumed

The basis of the work is the new database "Global Impacts Dataset of Invasive Alien Species (GIDIAS)," which comprises over 22,000 documented impacts of invasive species in 172 countries. "Invasive species that cause damage in both the Global South and the Global North do 50% more harm in countries of the Global South compared to countries of the Global North. "In contrast, the rising economic potential of emerging economies acts as an accelerator for the introduction of invasive species, while the institutional ability to respond lags behind." In countries of the Global South, these mechanisms are often lacking, which allows invasive species to cause devastating ecological damage unchecked.
