Regulation (EU) 1143/2014 on invasive alien species established a European framework to prevent, minimise, and mitigate adverse impacts from IAS. The legislation includes dedicated articles on prevention, early detection and rapid eradication, and management of the priority IAS included in the List of Invasive Alien Species of Union Concern. As the management of IAS included in the Union List can impact large numbers of animals for sustained periods of time, it raises concerns for animal welfare. There is an increasing public concern for invasive alien animals as sentient beings, and, more generally, an increasing interest by the civil society in the humane treatment of animals.

The objective of this project is to promote the uptake of the best practices for the management of invasive alien vertebrate animals, through lethal or non-lethal measures, in order to strengthen the application of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 on invasive alien species. The project will identify the existing effective management measures for invasive alien vertebrate animals with a view to eradicate, control and/or contain their populations in order to minimise their impact on biodiversity, the related ecosystem services and where applicable, on human health or the economy. The identified measures will be assessed in terms of their cost-effectiveness, how humane they are considered and other possible side-effects
