Invasive species are a leading cause of species losses globally and invasive species management provides land managers with an excellent opportunity to affect positive biodiversity change. In this webinar the Invasive Species Centre will demonstrate the many impacts of invasive species including the latest connections to Ontario’s economy, culture and environment. We will build the case for investment in invasive species prevention and mitigation, and highlight the policy and ecological linkages between invasive species action and many Species At Risk.
