Description
This report presents a framework for analysing the risk of alien taxa under the NEM:BA Alien and Invasive Species Regulations of 2014. In outlining a series of questions related to a taxon’s likelihood of invasion and the consequences thereof, i.e. the potential impacts, the report provides a structure for collating data relevant to the process of listing taxa as well as a process for developing recommendations.
This is where the latest versions of the framework will be available.
