Invasive alien species - removal - Aeris Futuro Foundation

Alien invasion program

Removing invasive alien species is a labor-intensive and time-consuming activity, but a necessary one. Both for regulatory reasons and simply to take care of our native ecosystems and their biodiversity and, consequently, resilience. We assist in the removal of alien species, diagnosis of the existing state of the environment, as well as providing substantive support.

Invasive species – what is it?

These are alien species of plants, animals or microorganisms that have been introduced into a new environment and have begun to spread rapidly. They threaten local ecosystems and native species.

The Alien Invasion Program was created to restore balance to disturbed ecosystems. The goal is to prevent the introduction of alien species and, when that is not possible, to remove invasive species.

Alien invasive species – removal

Aeris Futuro Foundation is taking action to remove invasive plant species. Our activities are aimed at protecting biodiversity disturbed by the intentional or unconscious introduction of alien invasive species that displace our native species or limit their ranges.
