Invasive species affect each
of our lives, all regions of the U.S., and every nation in the
world. Society pays a great price for invasive species - costs
measured not just in dollars, but also in unemployment, damaged
goods and equipment, power failures, food and water shortages,
environmental degradation, increased rates and severity of natural
disasters, disease epidemics, and even lost lives. Stimulated
by the rapid global expansion of trade, transport, and travel,
invasive species and their costs to society are increasing at
an alarming rate. ...

Developing a plan for managing invasive plants can be highly beneficial. A plan can serve as a reference while management progresses and can support decision making ...

Fortunately, change has arrived in the American government. Those currently in charge are sensitive to environmental concerns, especially those of the Great Lake region. President Obama co-sponsored the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact which Congress recently passed. This Compact, a multistate agreement between Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin under Congressional consent, governs the use of water from the Great Lakes, including “water quality maintenance, and the maintenance of fish and wildlife habitat and a balanced ecosystem.” [i] Further, Obama ...

Invasive species are everywhere.
They damage our crops, our industries, the environment and public
health. Scientists, academics, leaders of industry and land managers
are realizing that invasive species are one of the most serious
environmental threats of the 21st century (Mooney and Hobbs 2000). For centuries people have moved
plants, animals, and microbes around the world. Most countries
now rely on plants and animals from other regions of the world
in order to meet their dietary needs. People in the U.S. also
import plants and animals, and their ...

Add to those threats a perpetually underfunded budget and the picture that emerges is a national park where efforts to protect resources are increasingly compromised, a conservation group said Monday. In an 80-page "State of the Parks" report, the National Parks Conservation Association analyzed the most serious threats to the Grand Canyon. Some come from outside the park, such as air pollution that blankets the region and future mining operations that could contaminate water flowing downstream into the canyon. Some threats come from within, such as the popular but noisy air tours that draw complaints from visitors ...

We were gratified that the National Park Service held the recent meeting dealing with rabbit control at American Camp. We also were gratified that the meeting was reorganized (thank you, Linda Downes) to a public discussion of rabbit control options where all those members of the public in attendance could comment to the assembled group. However, we feel that rabbit control is only part of the management strategy proposed and currently employed by the NPS in management of the American Camp prairie. Considered an invasive species, the rabbits are only one part of a multi-pronged approach to control and eliminate other invasive ...

I am an SIS student in Sharjah U.A.E 9th grade (C.B.S.E) and i have a project regarding Conservation of our ecosystem.Can some one please help? A decline in biodiversity has been observed across most regions of South Australia, particularly in the agricultural areas where habitat destruction or modification has disrupted ecosystems and created a landscape of remnant ‘islands’ or fragmented patches of vegetation. These remnants, and the biodiversity they support, are under continuing threat and thus ongoing management and rehabilitation of habitats is necessary if further loss of biodiversity is to be avoided.
