The NENS programme aims to lower the impact of widespread invasive species by reducing their vigour through the use of natural enemies to lower the harmful impacts of widespread invasive plants by reducing their vigour through the introduction of natural enemies from their country of origin. The main focus of the NENS programme is to provide a safe, cost-effective and sustainable way of dealing with invasive weeds that have become widespread and beyond the scope of conventional control.
