[APWG] TNC Global Invasive Species Team Web Site Update

[Chuck Bargeron]

The Nature Conservancy's Global Invasive Species Team (GIST) was disbanded
in March 2009.   The GIST web site along with many useful documents on
invasive species control, numerous invasive species images and the recently
created INVASIPEDIA were in danger of becoming lost.   

The Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health at The University of
Georgia, in collaboration with the Global Invasive Species Team, is pleased
to announce that the GIST web site and INVASIPEDIA are now available through
Invasive.org (www.invasive.org).   All of Barry Rice’s 240 images and John
Randall’s 911 images that were on the GIST web site have been incorporated
into the Bugwood Image Database (www.ForestryImages.org and
www.Invasive.org) 

The GIST web site on Invasive.org is a static system with the content
current to March 2009.   Over time, the GIST web site content will be merged
into the existing Invasive.org framework.  INVASIPEDIA is fully integrated
into Bugwood Wiki under Invasive Species at http://wiki.bugwood.org/.  WIMS
will be hosted by iMapInvasives and the Remote Sensing Tutorial will be
hosted on Barry Rice’s sarracenia.com.

Please contact any of The Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health
staff if you have questions or need additional information. 

Thank you, Keith Douce, Dave Moorhead, Chuck Bargeron and Joe LaForest
