Abstract
Invasive species can be seen as species that are introduced in a new region, and that spreads rapidly. Invasive alien species (IAS) are characterized by rapid growth rates, extensive dispersal capabilities, large and rapid reproductive output and broad environmental tolerance. this assessment paper discuss on the general perception of IAS from three basic target groups (local farmers, both zonal, regional and woreda agricultural, environmental and forest experts). The assessment was based on three basic concepts that is (1). to understand the attitudes of the target group (evolution of the level of knowledge, awareness and need for information monitoring with related to invasive alien spices); (2). identifying the communication tools most frequently used; and (3). identify which best practices were implemented in order to control IAS with in the residence area. From the assessment data we can understand all target group were concerning on the issue of IAS even they have different level of knowledge and control mechanism and finally the target groups forwarded the following basic recommendation like further support and cooperation with regard to its fast and aggressive expansion of IAS and I also support and elaborate their recommendation.
Highlights
Invasive species can be seen as species that are introduced in a new region, and that spreads rapidly [14]
From the above tables (4-9) we are understand that the target groups perception and understanding based on the type and even identification of Invasive alien species (IAS) from indigenous pants, the knowledge what they know about IAS, major list of IAS indicated by the target group, understanding about the impact of IAS on different aspects, how much the issue was very hot issue on their area and even we can understand that their thinking how much feel on it and make it their concerning issue as well
When we see the level of knowledge of the target group from the first table of result part, especially the local farmers, most of them around 351 (73.12%) has the idea about IAS and from this we can understand that how much the issue becomes concerned and very critically serious issue on our agricultural biodiversity
Summary
Invasive species can be seen as species that are introduced in a new region, and that spreads rapidly [14]. An alien species is an organism introduced outside its natural past or present distribution range by human agency, either directly or indirectly [2]. Invasive alien species (IAS) are characterized by rapid growth rates, extensive dispersal capabilities, large and rapid reproductive output and broad environmental tolerance [3]. It is estimated that as many as 50% of invasive species in general can be classified as ecologically harmful, based on their actual impacts [15]. Once an invasive species becomes firmly established, its control often becomes difficult and eradication is usually impossible [13]. Exotic species will forever be common components of every ecosystem on Earth
