The invasive hornets are wreaking havoc in mainland Europe and threaten to get a foothold in the UK, with nests found in East Sussex, Kent, Devon and Dorset. The insects feed on native bees and wasps, damaging biodiversity. The warning comes as leading scientists release a global report into the threats caused by invasive species. They say the alien invaders play a role in 60% of animal and plant extinctions. And the economic costs have risen to more than \u00a3300bn ($380bn) a year across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Alien species are living things transported around the world by humans into places they wouldn&#8217;t naturally be, from Japanese knotweed to the fungus that kills ash trees. They are one of the five major drivers of biodiversity loss &#8211; and the problem is expected to get worse. The report found:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invasive species are a major threat to nature, food security and human health<\/li>\n<li>Invasive alien species contribute to 60% of global extinctions<\/li>\n<li>Economic costs are quadrupling every decade, reaching $423 billion (\u00a3336 billion) in 2019<\/li>\n<li>There are solutions, such as border and import controls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Asian hornet is an example of an alien species at risk of gaining a permanent foothold in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/science-environment-66697968\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-393\/\">UK bees in danger as Asian hornet sightings rise<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11353,5073,575,579],"class_list":["post-116651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-asian-hornet","tag-bee","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116651\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
