Article Synopsis
- - Biological invasions are a big problem for ecosystems and economies, and Türkiye is especially at risk due to its trade connections and location between Europe and Asia.
- - Researchers analyzed the economic costs of invasive species in Türkiye and found it added up to about $4.1 billion from 1960 to 2022, mostly affecting agriculture and fisheries.
- - The yearly costs of these invasive species are increasing and could reach $504 million a year soon, highlighting the need for better tracking of these costs and better management strategies to deal with them.
