Objective:
To provide the scientific information that will be used by invasive species managers to control invasive invertebrates and plant pathogens that in the Caribbean region, including invasive species causing extinction of native species.
Approach:
A cooperative agreement will be established between ARS and CABI in Switzerland to provide technical information that supports the Invasive Species Compendium (ISC). CABI will develop detailed information, published and disseminated as authoritative datasheets in the ISC; will identify which endangered and threatened native species in the Caribbean region are negatively impacted by invasive species; will initiate the preparation of a scientific publication with the results of the multi-year Caribbean invasive plant project; and will finalize the peer-reviewed publication of the IUCN Systematic Review of critically endangered species in the world.
