Sommario/riassunto |

La biodiversité calédonienne, reconnue comme l’une des plus exceptionnelles avec son fort taux d’endémisme, est largement menacée par l’introduction de nouvelles espèces. Il est donc important de protéger l’écosystème calédonien, à la fois riche et vulnérable, des espèces envahissantes, l’une des principales causes de perte de la biodiversité à l’échelle mondiale. Face à cette menace, le Gouvernement et les trois provinces de Nouvelle-Calédonie souhaitent mettre en place une structure collective afin de définir les orientations stratégiques nécessaires pour préserver et conserver leur biodiversité. Elles ont ainsi voulu qu’un état des connaissances soit dressé et qu’une réflexion soit menée sur la prévention, la détection précoce, l’intervention rapide, l’éradication, le confinement et le contrôle des |

espèces envahissantes. Cette expertise collégiale apporte les éléments nécessaires à la construction d’un système de biosécurité pertinent et efficace pour l’archipel néo-calédonien. The introduction of new species poses a major threat to New Caledonia’s biodiversity, widely known for its exceptional quality and high rate of endemism. It is therefore important to protect New Caledonia’s rich but vulnerable ecosystem from invasive species, which are one of the main causes of biodiversity loss worldwide. Confronted with this threat, the Government and the three Provinces of New Caledonia wish to set up a collective structure to define the necessary strategic guidelines for protecting and conserving biodiversity. They also wanted a state-of-the-art report and analysis of the prevention, early detection, rapid response, eradication, containment and control of invasive species. This expert group review provides the necessary elements for designing a biosecurity system that will be effective and relevant to the New Caledonian archipelago. |
