Protected Areas - Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species - Tankwa-Karoo National Park, South Africa

The Protected Areas -Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (PA-GRIIS) presents validated checklists of introduced (alien) and invasive alien species at a site level. The primary intention of PA-GRIIS is to provide checklists of introduced (alien) and invasive species present on designated protected areas (such as National Parks, Ramsar sites- Wetlands of International importance, World Heritage Sites (natural and mixed), Marine protected areas etc.) and other areas of biodiversity significance (such as Important Plant Areas (IPA), Important Bird Areas (IBA) etc.), as well as buffer zones around these areas. Areas surrounding protected areas and other areas of high biodiversity significance can serve as an invasion source of alien and invasive species propagules. The establishment of buffer zones and the management of alien and invasive species within these areas is a key management strategy in the prevention of introduction and control/management of biological invasions. In the case of islands buffer zones.

Checklists are living entities, especially for biological invasions given the growing nature of the problem. PA -GRIIS checklists are based on the GRIIS published methodology (Pagad et al 2018) and supported by the Integrated Publishing Tool of the Global Biodiversity Information Infrastructure (GBIF) that jointly enable ongoing improvements and updates to expand their taxonomic coverage and completeness.

Phase 1 of the PA -GRIIS project will present close to 100 exemplar checklists of introduced (alien) and invasive species in a selection of protected areas and other areas of biodiversity significance

This annotated checklist is of introduced (alien) and invasive alien species known to occur in
the nationally designated Tankwa-Karoo National Park, South Africa

《受保护区域——全球入侵和外来物种注册登记册》（PA-GRIIS）提供针对特定地点的验证过的入侵（非本地）和入侵物种清单。PA-GRIIS的主要宗旨是为指定受保护区域（如国家公园、拉姆萨尔湿地——国际重要湿地、世界遗产地（自然和混合遗产）、海洋保护区等）及其他生物多样性重要区域（如重要植物区（IPA）、重要鸟类区（IBA）等）以及这些区域周边的缓冲区提供物种清单。受保护区域和其他生物多样性重要区域周边地区可作为外来和入侵物种的入侵源。在这些区域建立缓冲区，并管理其中的外来和入侵物种，是预防物种入侵及控制/管理生物入侵的关键管理策略。在岛屿环境中，缓冲区的建立尤为重要。清单作为持续进化的实体，尤其是考虑到生物入侵问题的日益严峻，PA-GRIIS的清单基于GRIIS发布的方法论（Pagad等人，2018年）并由全球生物多样性信息基础设施（GBIF）的集成出版工具支持，共同实现了持续改进和更新，以扩大其分类覆盖范围和完整性。PA-GRIIS项目的第一阶段将展示近100份受保护区域和其他生物多样性重要区域的入侵（非本地）和入侵物种的典型清单。这份注释清单记录了已知存在于南非国家指定的坦夸-卡鲁国家公园内的入侵（非本地）和入侵物种。
