Description Antarctic ecosystems are considered to be
pristine ecosystems; however, increasing global temperature
and a considerable increase in human activities pertaining
to scientific investigations and tourism are major
issues that need an immediate address by global scientific
communities. This review encompasses around the present
and future threats to Antarctic ecosystems due to bioinvasion
highlighting the conservation value of native Antarctic
species vis-a-vis the impacts of invasive species on native
organisms. The initiatives for prevention of bio-invasion in
Antarctic ecosystems have also been summarised.
