Invasive Alien Species
New Synthesis Report
Invasive Alien Species is the final report of Global Invasive Species Programme'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 SCOPE 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.
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. The report is an essential reference for the international community of investigators concerned with biological invasions.
