                    [Summary] => The country is now awash with "alien invasive species" (AIS) of flora and fauna introduced over the years.


Many of these plant and animal species have turned out to be destructive and are now wreaking havoc in the country’s ecosystems, causing great losses to the agriculture, fisheries, and forestry sectors.


A typical example is the golden apple snail (GAS), now popularly known as "golden kuhol."
