Pathway Action Plans for Invasive Non-native Species

Overview

We want your views on five Pathway Action Plans to reduce the risk of invasive non-native species spreading in Great Britain.

What the plans cover

The plans focus on stopping invasive species from spreading through:

• recreational boating and angling - preventing species moving between waterways
• horticulture - stopping invasive garden plants and soil contaminants spreading
• zoos - preventing animals escaping from zoos or wildlife parks
• pets - stopping released or escaped pets becoming invasive

These plans set out best practice for government, organisations and individuals to help prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species.

This is a joint consultation with UK Government and Welsh Government.
