"Do you buy plants online? You might be breaking the law without even knowing
it.
We found hundreds of different invasive plants and prohibited weeds advertised
on a popular online marketplace.
For the first time, our research has exposed the frequent, high volume trade in
pest plants across Australia.
State and territory governments are adopting our automated surveillance
approach to help regulate the online trade in plants and other wildlife.
Biosecurity officers can receive automatic alerts for suspected illegal trade,
rather than manually monitoring websites or relying on reports from the
public."
