About the talk
The negative impact of introduced species on native biodiversity and ecosystems has been widely recognized. In addition, introduced species can be devastating for human economy. Managing introduced species is one of the great challenges that conservation biologists, politicians and managers face. Prof. Simberloff will talk about how, in spite of an air of pessimism and doom that pervades conservationists and invasion biologists, we could actually do a good job of control biological invasions: the science and technology are there.
