The article discusses the threat of alien plant species to the conservation of global diversity. It cites that the second draft of the Alien and Invasive Species (AIS) Regulations under the National Environment Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 was published. The draft contained lists of species that require regulation and control. Scientists and conservation officials met to discuss comments on the draft lists and the species that received comments were further evaluated. Species that did not receive comments were regarded as eligible for the final lists.
