National Strategy
To prevent damage by these alien pests, the Government of Canada has set up an Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Canada based on the prevention, early detection, rapid response and eradication, containment and control of invasive alien species in forests (IASFs) that nonetheless succeed in entering Canada.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada and Environment Canada have put forward an Action Plan for Invasive Alien Terrestrial Plants and Plant Pests (Phase 1, Phase 2) that outlines how the national strategy will be implemented in the forest and agricultural sectors.
