Islands are at the forefront of the global extinction crisis, with invasive vertebrates posing a significant threat to native flora and fauna. The removal of these invasive species is crucial for the restoration and protection of island ecosystems, helping to prevent extinctions and promote biodiversity!
Island Conservation hosts an invaluable dataset to help show the impact of this key environmental intervention: the Database of Island Invasive Species Eradications (DIISE).
This comprehensive dataset compiles historical and current invasive vertebrate eradication projects on islands, with a primary focus on invasive mammals. The data includes island location and characteristics, details about the eradication efforts such as focal species, methods, and outcomes, and links for further information.
