There are many websites that already provide regional, statewide, or national news about invasive exotic plants and animals as well as management actions that are being taken to control those species. The iMapInvasives news page will focus primarily on project news and data updates as well as providing a web linkages to invasive exotic news that are being maintained by each of the project’s partners. News about invasive exotics that are of regional or national interest and that are not partner-specific may be found in the General News section.
