Within this context of a risk-based biosecurity approach the project advocates using the ‘invasive management hierarchy’ when planning the management of biological invasions1. This concept states that prevention is better than early detection and rapid response, which is better than eradication, which is better than control and mitigation. Within this management hierarchy, there are a wide range of management methods available some of which have been used in Cameroon.
This manual provides a “one-stop shop” for accessing information on management methods available for a range of prominent biological invaders known to be present in Cameroon.
