Horizon scanning for potential invasive non‐native species across the United Kingdom Overseas Territories

Conservation Letters, 2023
Invasive non‐native species (INNS) are recognized as a major threat to island biodiversity, ecosystems, and economies globally. Preventing high‐risk INNS from being introduced is the most cost‐effective way to avoid their adverse impacts.

Medical practice on Tristan da Cunha – the remotest island community in the world [PDF]

Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 2013
Midway between Africa and South America, on the edge of the ‘roaring 40s’ (37°S 12°W) is an archipelago of five tiny volcanic islands. Tristan, a British Overseas Territory, is the largest – seven miles across and rising 7,000 feet above sea level. There is no airport, no air access except for an occasional ship’s helicopter and no sheltered anchorage.
