Turning the Tide: The Eradication of Invasive Species : Proceedings of the International Conference on Eradication of Island InvasivesC. R. Veitch, Michael Norman Clout IUCN, 2002 - 414 pages This collection of 52 papers and 21 abstracts focuses on sharing available knowledge to combat the threat of invasive alien species. Turning the tide of biological invasion by eradicating invasive species can yield substantial benefits for biodiversity conservation. As more eradications are attempted worldwide, it is increasingly important that lessons are learned from each and every one of these attempts, whether successful or unsuccessful. This publication is intended to share with a wider audience the insights and practical experience gained. |
