Guidelines on biofuels and invasive species
This set of IUCN guidelines highlights the risks of biological invasion by species introduced for biofuels production. Provide constructive recommendations on how to prevent the introduction, establishment and spread of invading species resulting from biofuel developments.
This preliminary set of guidelines aims to highlight the risks of biological invasion by species introduced for biofuels production and to provide constructive recommendations on how to
prevent the introduction, establishment and spread of invading species resulting from biofuel developments. The intention is not to either promote or discourage biofuel developments. It is
also recognised that there are numerous factors other than biological invasion that affect the sustainability of biofuels which must be considered and addressed when promoting and
implementing biofuels policies and projects.
