Other relevant e-lists

In addition to the HEAR-sponsored e-lists, there are a number of lists important to issues concerning HEAR (e.g. invasive species) which are sponsored by other organizations. These lists may have subscription/submission procedures somewhat different from those of the HEAR-sponsored lists, so please contact the sponsoring organization directly for details about access issues for these lists. If you know of other lists which should be included here, please e-mail information to HEAR, including contact information for the list administrator and details RE: how to subscribe to the list (preferably a website address).

Pacific PestNet
Pacific PestNet is a forum for people interested in plant protection in Pacific Island countries. Pacific PestNet is open to anyone who has a question or wants to share information on issues about plant protection, including quarantine. Pacific PestNet aims to assist with: information on pests, diseases and weeds and their control; alerts on new incursions or threats to Pacific Island countries and elsewhere; facilitating information exchanges and discussions between plant protection practitioners in Pacific Island countries; inquiries and discussions on pesticides, pests, crops losses, IPM, in relation to good crop husbandry practices; circulating newsletters and notices; announcements on workshops, seminars, symposia and conferences; in some circumstances, literature searches for Pacific Island countries. Membership is open to people both in and outside the Pacific who belong to government research, extension and quarantine services, scientific organisations, academic institutions, universities and schools, and the private sector. In other words, anyone with an interest in plant protection. Started in December 1999, Pacific PestNet has expanded to over 350 members, who have posted more than 1000 messages (July 2002). The response from members in Pacific Island Countries has been very encouraging and greatly exceeded our expectations, confirming the usefulness of PestNet. Pacific PestNet complements work carried out by regional organisations and universities that provide assistance to Pacific Island countries. In time, members may wish to extend the scope of Pacific PestNet to include other aspects of agriculture in the region, root crops in particular.

This listserver is a contribution to that mission. It allows users to freely seek and share information on invasive species and the threats which they pose to the biodiversity of our planet. This listserver is not limited to members of ISSG but is available to all who might be interested in the subject of invasive species. (As of February 2001, the subscriber list is at the 650 mark!)
