About this book

Language: Bilingual in English and French

Caledonian biodiversity, recognized as one of the most exceptional with its high rate of endemism, is being threatened by the introduction of new species. It is therefore important to protect the Caledonian ecosystem, which is both rich and vulnerable, from invasive species, one of the main causes of biodiversity loss globally. Faced with this threat, the three provinces of New Caledonia wish to set up a joint structure to define the strategic directions needed to preserve and conserve biodiversity. They also requested that an overview of the current state of knowledge is created and that consideration should be on prevention, early detection, rapid response, eradication, containment and control of invasive species. This book provides the necessary elements for building a relevant and effective biosafety system for the New Caledonia archipelago.

Summary in French:
La biodiversité calédonienne, reconnue comme l’une des plus exceptionnelles avec son fort taux d’endémisme, est largement menacée par l’introduction de nouvelles espèces. Il est donc important de protéger l’écosystème calédonien, à la fois riche et vulnérable, des espèces envahissantes, l’une des principales causes de perte de la biodiversité à l’échelle mondiale. Face à cette menace, les trois provinces de Nouvelle-Calédonie souhaitent mettre en place une structure collective afin de définir les orientations stratégiques nécessaires pour préserver et conserver leur biodiversité. Elles ont aussi souhaité qu’un état des connaissances soit dressé et qu’une réflexion soit menée sur la prévention, la détection précoce, l’intervention rapide, l’éradication, le confinement et le contrôle des espèces envahissantes. Cette expertise collégiale apporte les éléments nécessaires à la construction d’un système de biosécurité pertinent et efficace pour l’archipel néo-calédonien.
