Biological invasions are a global problem whose local impact can
be of great magnitude. The prevention and minimization of the
impact of invasive alien species has become a priority because of
their negative impact on biodiversity, economy and public
health.
Effective responses are needed; cooperation and coordination
among countries and/or different sectors of society are a must. To
combine and share experiences on biological invasions at
international, regional and local level it is essential to develop
compatible approaches to common problems.
With this aim, the GEI (Grupo Especies Invasoras) organised the
First National Conference on Invasive Alien Species in Spain in
2003. Scientists coming from different parts of the Iberian
Peninsula belonging to universities, public administration, NGOs
and environmental enterprises and world-renowned experts on
biological invasions from other countries responded to this "call
for action" and participated in the conference.
Issues in Bioinvasion Science contains key contributions of this
conference. The themes included cut across different aspects of
non-native species invasions. This volume is essential reading for
anyone seeking an understanding of non-native species
invasions.
Our aim: to go beyond national boundaries in order to tackle
these complex biological issues.
