Biological invasions often transcend political boundaries, but the capacity of countries to prevent varies. How this variation in biosecurity affects invasion risks posed involved is unclear. We aimed improve understanding how a country influences that its neighbours. developed six scenarios describe biological regions with contiguous countries. Using data from alien species databases, socio-economic and biodiversity distribution models, we determined where 86 100 world's worst invasive are likely invade have negative impact future. Information on was used determine whether such could be avoided. For selected species, predicted 2,523 discrete invasions, most which would significant impacts unlikely prevented. Of these approximately third were spread first establishes neighbouring they cause impacts. Most prevented as establishment has low or little incentive do so there will no country. Regional therefore essential future harmful invasions. In consequence, propose need for increased regional co-operation combat incorporated global targets.

Abstract Humans and ornamental plants have a long relationship that could explain why gardening has been one of the main reasons for intentionally introducing spreading worldwide. In Southern Africa, significant part alien flora was introduced purposes. Some species become invasive, with ecological socio‐economic impacts can create conflicts between stakeholders, depending on their relationships species. This paper unpacks how industry in Africa operates as well people's preferences practices to highlight links plant invasions help address potential conflicts. Drawing empirical data primarily collected 2022/23 Botswana, Namibia Zimbabwe (and other African countries), our results show Africa's is highly influenced by global industry, especially South Africa. The sector provides ‘formal’ ‘informal’ jobs people urban areas, middle‐aged women from ethnic majorities. sector's operation expressions typical cultural hybridity postcolonial states where hegemonic subaltern coexist mix. Alien foreign styles often symbolise higher social status, but controversially, socially privileged groups are publicly leading shifts towards more geographically contextualised native plants.
