Controlling Invasive Alien Plants

Nepal is rich in biodiversity. Many species of animals and plants are found in the country. This is because of a variety of bio-climatic conditions the country boasts. However, as in other countries, Nepal is facing the problem of invasive alien plants. Since the beginning of the 20th century, invasive plants have posed a threat to native plants. Such plants have become a serious threat to economic, social and ecological sectors on a global scale. Human activities are largely to blame for this. Factors like international travel and trade have made humans dispersal agents.
