Conservationists warned the funding to address non-native plants and animals was failing to match the risk they posed to \u201ccherished\u201d native species, from water voles to ladybirds, as well as to waterways, homes, businesses and local green spaces.<\/p>\n<p>They have called for more resources for border checks to stop non-native species arriving here, and funding for local groups to tackle the problem on the ground. The conservationists said the hornets, which pose a threat to honeybees and other insects, bucked the trend of low funding, with more than \u00a32.2m spent solely on fighting them, while just under \u00a3500,000 was spent in the same period on local action for wider invasive species.<\/p>\n<p>Research found that efforts in the UK have delayed the hornets\u2019 establishment, whereas the insects have already taken hold in many other countries. However, WCL warned the hornet was likely to establish here at some point, showing the need for greater border check powers and resourcing to stop these species arriving in the UK in the first place. The wildlife experts said invasive species played a major role in more than 60% of extinctions worldwide. Examples in the UK included water voles being preyed on by non-native mink, as well as red squirrels facing competition and disease spread by their grey cousins.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2025\/may\/12\/less-than-1-of-uk-biosecurity-budget-goes-on-tackling-invasive-species-figures-show\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>\u00a8<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-709\/\">Less than 1% of UK biosecurity budget goes on tackling invasive species, figures show<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[22,1],"tags":[444,575,18769,579,655],"class_list":["post-139957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-biodiversity","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-invasive-species","tag-uk","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
