Global Invasive Species Database (GISD)

The Global Invasive Species Database (GISD) is an online resource that provides information about plant and animal species that have been introduced outside their natural habitats and have become invasive. These invasive species can cause harm to native ecosystems, agriculture, and economies. The GISD helps researchers, policymakers, and the public understand which species are invasive, their impacts, and how to manage or prevent their spread. It promotes awareness and supports efforts to protect biodiversity by tracking and sharing data on invasive species worldwide.
