| Summary: | "This toolkit provides an overview, advice by example, and sources for further information on best management practices for invasive alien species, to assist and direct those involved with biodiversity conservation and land management. The breadth of the management approach and the numerous case studies will also be of interest and an information source for a wider public audience. The focus is on invasive species affecting biodiversity, but many examples are drawn from traditional sectors such as agriculture and forestry, reflecting the diverse problems caused by invasive alien species. The many case studies span the globe, although islands are particularly stressed because they are especially vulnerable to the impact of alien species."--BOOK JACKET. |
