Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the main causes of global biodiversity loss, and island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable. In the Caribbean, nearly 84% of critically endangered and endangered species and 34% of seabird breeding sites are being negatively impacted by IAS. Thus, the impacts of IAS are evident in Caribbean landbirds and seabirds, yet we are only beginning to understand and address the issues. This round-table discussion is to explore the purpose and role of the Birds Caribbean IAS Working Group, identify Working Group collaborators and members, and discuss how best the WG can support Birds Caribbean.
Organizer: Kirsty Swinnerton, BirdsCaribbean Invasive Species Working Group. Email: kirstyswinnerton@gmail.com
Purpose: Participants will discuss the purpose and role of the Invasive Species Working Group, identify potential collaborators, and develop some actions for 2024.
