Data Center Description
IABIN addresses the need for a regional network of invasive species knowledge
bases. With direct access to national knowledge bases throughout the region,
those addressing the invasive species challenge could easily obtain data on
which species are invasive or potentially invasive in particular habitats, and
use this information in their planning efforts. Agencies responsible for pest
control could quickly determine if a species of interest has been invasive
elsewhere. Importers of new non-native species (e.g., nurseries, botanical
gardens, the pet industry) could access accounts of experiences abroad to make
responsible business choices. Land managers could learn about control methods
that have been useful in other areas, reducing the need to commit resources for
experimentation and increasing the speed at which control efforts can begin.
