Biological invasions represent a key threat to insular systems and have pronounced impacts across environments and economies. The ecological impacts have received substantial focus, but the socioeconomic impacts are poorly synthesized across spatial and temporal scales. We used the InvaCost database, the most comprehensive assessment of published economic costs of invasive species, to assess economic impacts on islands worldwide.

Climate change impacts island communities all over the world. Sea-level rise, an increase in the frequency and intensity of severe weather events, and changes in distribution and health of marine organisms are among the most significant processes affecting island communities worldwide. On islands of the Caribbean and southwestern Indian Ocean (SWIO), however, today’s climate change impacts are magnified by historical environmental injustice and colonial legacies, which have heightened the vulnerability of human and other biotic communities.

Linda Rasoamanana est agrégée de Lettres Modernes et maître de conférences au centre universitaire de Mayotte. Elle participe à un projet scientifique interdisciplinaire ARESMA (Agir pour la résilience des systèmes écologiques de mangroves de Mayotte) soutenu par la Fondation de France. Elle a obtenu le prix scientifique du 23° salon du livre insulaire pour son ouvrage « Pratiques et imaginaires des mangroves de Mayotte (approche géo-critique) » aux éditions PETRA. Dans les discours littéraires, entre les lieux et leurs représentations se dessinent des interactions qui permettent de comprendre les conflits entre usagers de la mangrove.
