An Action Plan on Invasive Species
The impacts of invasive species go well beyond a local site or a single
state. Countless expert reports from public and private groups have
brought attention to these impacts and called for federal action to
address invasive species problems. To date, progress has been woefully
inadequate. However, there are opportunities to act. We call upon
President Obama and the 111th Congress to immediately take the following
steps to benefit our nation:
1. Screen intentional imports
2. Prevent inadvertent introductions
3. Fund early detection and response
4. Create and support federal leadership
5. Fill other funding gaps
