Abstract: Alien invasive plants such as Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) are having a severe impact on biodiversity in Europe. No successful solutions stopping invasion has been found so far. A project was commenced in January 2002. It was carried out under EU 5th FW, "Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development" - Assessing and Conserving Biodiversity. The overall objective of the project was to develop an integrated management strategy that comprises effective, practicable and sustainable means of controlling an alien non-agricultural weed (H. mantegazzianum). This will provide a generic control strategy to safeguard the biodiversity of Europe from the increasingly serious threat of other alien invasives. In addition to the effective control of this species, a concept would be produced which could serve as a template by which other exotic species could be controlled or prevented from reaching the invasive phase. As a result of the project, the "Giant Hogweed Best Practice Manual" is available for download in eight different languages. Paper copies can be ordered as well.
