1. Alien Species in Poland Centaurea diffusa
Summary: In 1999, the database on species introduced into Poland was developed at the Institute of Nature Conservation, Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow for the Ministry of the Environment. In 2003, thanks to a grant from the US State Department, part of the data was translated and made accessible on the Internet. In 2003-2005, as a result of cooperation between a group of experts, new species were included. In 2005, the Polish database became a part of NOBANIS http://www.artportalen.se/nobanis/ which is an important gateway to data on invasive alien species in Northern and Central Europe.

The Global Invasive Species Database is managed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the IUCN Species Survival Commission. It was developed as part of the global initiative on invasive species led by the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) and is supported through partnerships with the National Biological Information Infrastructure, Manaaki Whenua-Landcare Research and the University of Auckland.
