Turning the Tide: The Eradication of Invasive Species
Proceedings of the International Conference on Eradication of Island Invasives
Edited by C. R. Veitch and M. N. CloutThe Proceedings of the International Conference on Eradication of Island Invasives, held at the University of Auckland in February 2001, is now available for you to purchase.
This 424 page book titled: “Turning the Tide: The Eradication of Invasive Species”, edited by Dick Veitch and Mick Clout, contains 52 papers from conference presentations and the abstracts from a further 21 of the presentations.
The papers presented to the conference focused on the subject of: “Eradication of invasive species from islands; methods used and the results achieved.” The term ‘eradicating’ included work to remove invasive species where complete eradication was some, or many, years away but the methods used were achieving positive results or providing a significant learning experience. The term ‘island’ included true islands, natural habitat islands, remnant and artificial habitat islands, or new invasions of natural ecosystems where eradication was deemed feasible. Preference was given to papers which provided detail of the techniques used or of the ecosystem response to the work. Significant learning experiences included methods which failed.
