| Résumé : |
Bamboo is a vast strategic resource that countries in the world’s tropical and sub-tropical regions can use to better-manage climate change, provide beneficial ecosystem services, and new income sources for rural populations. Yet, when the topic of bamboo is discussed, the issue of invasiveness often arises. The short answer to this question is that there are some 1600 different bamboo species with a variety of characteristics. While some of these are known to be invasive, particularly ‘running’ bamboos, many pose no threat. Assessing risks and preventing the introduction of invasive and potentially invasive bamboo species is the first line of defense. But, even in situations where invasive species are present, the risk posed to the environment can be substantially reduced through effective management strategies: proven manual, physical, and chemical options. This study identifies the bamboo species known to pose a risk and the strategies that countries can adopt to mitigate this risk. Information was gathered through a comprehensive literature review and consultations with bamboo experts worldwide. The result is a practical resource that offers countries useful information on best practices and lessons learned, and a practical framework that planners can adopt as protection against invasive bamboo. |
