ABSTRACT This findings abstract presents preliminary estimates of the economic impact of seven invasive alien species (IAS) in Chile on productive sectors of the economy and biodiversity. The study was required by decision-makers as part of the research of the project “Strengthening National Frameworks for Invasive Alien Species Governance” funded by GEF (Global Environmental Facility). The impacts of beaver (Castor canadensis), rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), American mink (Neovison vison), yellow jacket (Vespula germanica), blackberry (Rubus spp.), and ulex (Ulex europaeus) were assessed. Few impacts could be estimated given the lack of information in Chile. Considering the impacts assessed, Chile may lose at least USD 90 million per year due to these seven IAS. Without implementing control measures, in 20 years, Chile will lose at least approximately USD 2 billion from the impacts of these species on biodiversity and productive sectors.

智利七种外来入侵物种的估计经济影响

摘要 本研究结果摘要介绍了智利七种外来入侵物种 (IAS) 对经济生产部门和生物多样性的经济影响的初步估计。该研究是决策者要求的，作为由 GEF（全球环境基金）资助的“加强外来入侵物种治理的国家框架”项目研究的一部分。海狸 (Castor canadensis)、兔子 (Oryctolagus cuniculus)、野猪 (Sus scrofa)、美国水貂 (Neovison vison)、黄夹克 (Vespula Germanica)、黑莓 (Rubus spp.) 和 ulex (Ulex europaeus) 的影响为评估。鉴于智利缺乏信息，几乎无法估计影响。考虑到评估的影响，智利可能因这七个 IAS 每年损失至少 9000 万美元。在不实施管控措施的情况下，20年内，
