Abstract
Exotic species turns to invasive have negative impacts on native biota and ecosystem functioning. Globalization, development of active transport accelerates plants trade, create threat to global biodiversity. Developing countries like Pakistan invasive species pose economic loss like agricultural productivity, Eucalyptus camaldulensis intentionally introduced for green cover and soil reclamation, Parthenium hysterophorus L. for trade, Lantana camara for horticulture purposes, Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) for landscaping purpose. Invasive plants have adaptability against wide range of environmental conditions, reduced yield by competing with native biodiversity and have econo-medicinal properties fodder, oil, some other allelopathic effects that could pay their damage cost. Pakistan requires specific management program to control their introduction, spread and their impacts on native species. The control and management of invasive species can be implemented by assessment of their risk factors on biodiversity degradation and loss.
