Title: Management of Invasive Alien Species: Forging Cooperation in the Baltic/Nordic Region
Publisher: Global Invasive Species Programme
Description: In May 2001, the workshop entitled Management of Invasive Alien Species: Forging Cooperation in the Baltic/Nordic Region was held in Copenhagen, Denmark to raise awareness of the regional challenges
posed by IAS and to lay the foundation for a regional action plan. The workshop, summarized in this document, was the first in a series of seven regional workshops to be held in 2001-2002 by the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) and the U.S. Government under GISP’s Phase II Implementation Plan (www.http://www.jasper.stanford.edu/gisp). These regional workshops build upon two previous, global meetings on IAS: The Norway/UN Conference on Alien Species (Trondheim, Norway, 1996) and the GISP Phase I Synthesis Conference (Cape Town, Republic of South Africa, 2000).
To ensure a comprehensive, cross-sectoral approach to addressing IAS within the Baltic/Nordic region, the workshop engaged government officials and scientists from both agriculture and environment ministries. A select group of representatives from relevant intergovernmental bodies and nongovernmental organizations were invited to contribute their expertise on IAS and participated as “resource specialists and observers.”
