20.500.12556/DiRROS-17499 Using the IUCN environmental impact classification for alien taxa to inform decision-making The Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) is an important tool for biological invasion policy and management and has been adopted as an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) standard to measure the severity of environmental impacts caused by organisms living outside their native ranges. EICAT has already been incorporated into some national and local decision-making procedures, making it a particularly relevant resource for addressing the impact of non-native species. Recently, some of the underlying conceptual principles of EICAT, particularly those related to the use of the precautionary approach, have been challenged. Although still relatively new, guidelines for the application and interpretation of EICAT will be periodically revisited by the IUCN community, based on scientific evidence, to improve the process. Some of the criticisms recently raised are based on subjectively selected assumptions that cannot be generalized and may harm global efforts to manage biological invasions. EICAT adopts a precautionary principle by considering a species’ impact history elsewhere because some taxa have traits that can make them inherently more harmful. Furthermore, non-native species are often important drivers of biodiversity loss even in the presence of other pressures. Ignoring the precautionary principle when tackling the impacts of non-native species has led to devastating consequences for human well-being, biodiversity, and ecosystems, as well as poor management outcomes, and thus to significant economic costs. EICAT is a relevant tool because it supports prioritization and management of non-native species and meeting and monitoring progress toward the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) Target 6. biological invasions evidence synthesis impact assessment managing invasive species precautionary principle invazivne vrste sinteza dokazov ocena vpliva upravljanje z invazivnimi vrstami načelo previdnosti true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2023-12-11 13:14:16 2023-12-11 13:14:17 2024-05-25 03:36:38 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 11. 12. 2023; Skupno št. avtorjev: 25; Avtor iz Slov.: M. de Groot; str. 1-10 e 14214 Vol. 38 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-01-01 630*44 1523-1739 10.1111/cobi.14214 176894211 https://conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cobi.14214 1 6a00c3f7-9816-11ee-9ccb-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=23770 RAZ_Kumschick_Sabrina_2023.pdf RAZ_Kumschick_Sabrina_2023.pdf 1 8A94282673DA42CC370052F1250B7523 9e56a72eb28b33959da43504f1cc4e2d44dd16aeda22ec6a489f26d7924a4ae2 5d6d9bd5-19c0-11ef-9c9e-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=26059 Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije 0 0 0
