3. In September 2004, the federal government and its provincial and territorial counterparts introduced "An Invasive Alien Species Strategy for Canada" to reduce the risk of invasive alien species and conserve our ecosystems. This strategy helps prevent new invasions; detect and respond rapidly to new invasive alien species; and manage established invasive alien species through eradication, containment, and control. The strategy also includes measures to help prevent introductions of invasive alien species from other countries, or from species which have moved from one ecosystem to another within Canada piont pelee is using this stratigy to help prevent non native spiecies from coming to piont peele and help get rid of the no native spiecies we already have.


Piont pelee as well as many other national parks across canada work together to preserve canadas biodivirsity. Piont pelee helps protect threatened spiecies by making sure no one hunts them or setting aside land that tourists cant go to for the threatened spiecies . amoung many other things piont pelee does to protect these spicies is they make sure there habitate is sutable for the speicies to be living there becouse do to changes in our ecosystem (both human coused and naturaly coused) have coused the habitate of some threatened spieceis to be rapidly changing so it is the parks resocibility to moniture this to see how it is effecting the threatened spiecies.
