Invasive alien species of plants and animals are increasing burden to both natural and managed ecosystems across scales. Given the damage they cause directly and indirectly, their control in urgent. Controlling invasive species demands efforts from diverse actors at different level where local communities are central for enduring control of invasive species. As an awareness raising materials for local and other interested people we have prepared an updated poster of invasive species. This poster presents all 29 plant species reported to be invasive in Nepal. This poster also raises concern on two potential invasive trees in Nepal.
