Center for Invasive Species Research

The Center for Invasive Species Research (CISR) is an organization dedicated to studying and managing plant and animal species that are introduced to new environments where they can cause harm. These invasive species can threaten native ecosystems, agriculture, and economies. CISR conducts research to understand how these species spread, impacts on local biodiversity, and develops strategies to prevent and control their spread. It aims to protect ecosystems, support sustainable land management, and inform policies through scientific knowledge and collaboration with stakeholders.
