Abstract
Background: Biological invasion (in the context of this study) occurs when a non‐native species is introduced to a new environment (ecosystem or habitat) and spreads causing damage – to native biodiversity that is being conserved. And the type and distribution of IAS in eastern part of Ethiopia become a very serious issue and infested with in a very high speed. Based on this cause the Ethiopia biodiversity institute try to established one center for appropriate follow up and awareness creation with the community and the stakeholders and the center need to identify the type, their abundance and current statues of this IAS with in the Eastern part of the country. Result: From this data we can understand that almost all part of eastern Ethiopia is highly infested by IAS. Conclusion: The issues need an immediate and fast response before it becomes totally damage the whole native biodiversity resource and also the community leave on that area become both economically, socially and healthy dependence due to the effect of those IAS on the other body
