hello, forest pest
mavens & others,
I have posted a new blog
at www.cisp.us ... this one reports a recent
study relying on IUCN Red Book data to evaluate causes of extinction - and
finds that invasive species are the 2nd most commonly cited driver of
extinctions - and rank 1st for vertebrates.
Yet invasive species
issues continue to suffer from receiving little attention from the
conservation community - beginning with grant-making foundations and reaching
through the big names of US conservation organizations.
What can we do to
correct this imbalance?
Faith
