CHM - ORTBy 2030, major invasive alien species (IAS) and their pathways have been identified, prioritized and controlling measures determined and implemented to reduce and minimize rate of invasion and their impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Policy: National Invasive Species Strategy and Action Plan 2016
Actions: Cambodia will control and manage invasive alien species by developing a prioritized national IAS list and strengthening pathway controls across trade, aquaculture and transport sectors. Quarantine, inspection and biosecurity measures will be reinforced through improved interagency coordination. An early detection and rapid response system, linked to community reporting and CEMIS, will support timely intervention. Targeted control and eradication programs will focus on high-value ecosystems, including Protected Areas and wetlands, while public awareness and technical capacity-building will reduce introduction risks and ecological impacts.

GBF-T06. Reduce rates of introduction and establishment of invasive alien species by 50% GBF-T06. Reduce rates of introduction and establishment of invasive alien species by 50%Eliminate, minimize, reduce and or mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity and ecosystem services by identifying and managing pathways of the introduction of alien species, preventing the introduction and establishment of priority invasive alien species, reducing the rates of introduction and establishment of other known or potential invasive alien species by at least 50 per cent, by 2030, eradicating or controlling invasive alien species especially in priority sites, such as islands. | High |
The target is designed as a prevention-to-response system, combining policy, early detection and rapid response, targeted control, and strengthened quarantine. Education and awareness are treated as core prevention measures, reflecting that IAS management is partly behavioural and compliance-driven. Implementation is inherently cross-institutional and ecosystem-based because pathways and impacts cut across sectors and landscapes.
Core intent aligns (pathways identified, prioritised, controls implemented), though GBF includes explicit reduction and prevention elements.
