Invasive plants and animals

Invasive plants and animals are a threat to our ecosystem because they can spread massively and cause great damage. DP MPs André Bauler and Luc Emering asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity which plants and animals have been classified as invasive here in Luxembourg, which are the most aggressive ones and where they spread, what risk this poses to human health and whether the Ministry of the Environment is already working on a strategy to curb the spread of invasive plants and animals.

Question

„Invasiv Planze sinn eng Gefor fir eisen Ökosystem, well se déi regional Aartendiversitéit a Fro stellen a Liewensraim veränneren. Studie weisen, datt dës Planzen sech kënne wärend Joerzéngten onopfälleg verhalen, ma dann awer bannent kuerzer Zäit zu engem Risiko ginn, sech massiv verbreeden a grousse Schued uriichten. Et sinn awer net nëmme Planzen, déi een invasive Charakter hunn, mä och Déieren aus aneren Deeler vun der Welt sinn amgaang sech an eise Géigende breet ze maachen. Dobäi spillt d’Verlagerung vun de Klimazonen duerch d’Klimakris eng wesentlech Roll.

An deem Zesummenhang wollte mer dem Här Minister fir Ëmwelt, Klima a Biodiversitéit follgend Froe stellen:

1. Wat fir eng Planze ginn hei zu Lëtzebuerg als “invasiv” agestuuft? Wat fir eng sinn déi aggressiivst an a wat fir enge Regioune vum Land verbreeden si sech am séiersten? Wat fir invasiv Planze stellen eng Gefor fir déi mënschlech Gesondheet duer?

2. Wat fir eng Déieren- an Insektenzorte ginn hei zu Lëtzebuerg als “invasiv” agestuuft? Wat fir eng falen am meeschten op an a wat fir enge Regioune vum Land verbreeden si sech am meeschten? Wat fir invasiv Déieren an Insekte sinn e Risiko fir déi mënschlech Gesondheet?

3. Gëtt am Ëmweltministère un enger Strategie geschafft fir d’Verbreedung vun dësen invasiven Déieren, Insekten a Planzen, wa méiglech, anzedämmen?“
