Invasive alien species are among today's most daunting
environmental threats, costing billions of dollars in economic
damages and wreaking havoc on ecosystems around the world. In 1997,
a consortium of scientific organizations including SCOPE, IUCN, and
CABI developed the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) with
the explicit objective of providing new tools for understanding and
coping with invasive alien species. "Invasive Alien Species is the
final report of GISP's first phase of operation, 1997-2000, in
which authorities from more than thirty countries worked to examine
invasions as a worldwide environmental hazard. The book brings
together the world's leading scientists and researchers involved
with invasive alien species to offer a comprehensive summary and
synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the subject.
Invasive alien species represent a critical threat to natural
ecosystems and native biodiversity, as well as to human economic
vitality and health. The knowledge gained to date in understanding
and combating invasive alien species can form a useful basis on
which to build strategies for controlling or minimizing the effects
in the future. "Invasive Alien Species is an essential reference
for the international community of investigators concerned with
biological invasions.
