Invasive Species Council

The Invasive Species Council is an organization focused on addressing the challenges posed by invasive species—plants, animals, or pathogens that negatively impact native ecosystems, agriculture, and economies. These species often outcompete local species for resources, disrupt habitats, and can lead to significant environmental and economic harm. The Council works to raise awareness, develop strategies for prevention and management, and foster collaboration among governments, researchers, and communities. By tackling the issue of invasive species, the Council aims to protect biodiversity and promote healthier ecosystems.
