U.S. Government Accountability
Office.
GAO-10-645.
The U.S. government
has a history of employing health surveillance to help
limit malady, loss of life, and economic impact of diseases.
Recent legislation and presidential directives have called
for a robust and integrated biosurveillance capability
-- the ability to provide early detection and situational
awareness of potentially catastrophic biological events. GAO reviewed
federal biosurveillance programs, plans, and strategies
and interviewed agency officials from components of 12
federal departments with biosurveillance responsibilities.
Climate
Change Indicators in the United States (Apr 2010)
Environmental Protection Agency.
The report indicates the timing of natural
events, such as flower blooms and animal migration, is
influenced by changes in climate. Scientists
have very high confidence that recent warming trends
in global climate are linked to an earlier arrival of
spring events. An earlier spring might lead to longer
growing seasons more abundant invasive species and pests
and earlier and longer allergy seasons.

Eco-Logical: An Ecosystem Approach to
Developing Infrastructure Projects (March 2006) and (PDF | 2.16 MB)
DOT. Federal Highway Administration.
Eco-Logical was produced by an eight-agency steering team, including FHWA, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, NOAA National Marine Fisheries, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, and the U.S. Forest Service. The ecosystem approach contained in Eco-Logical shifts the Federal government's traditional focus on individual agency jurisdiction to the integrated actions of multiple agencies. It emphasizes increased voluntary contributions from all stakeholders, including the public, to a collaboratively developed vision of desired future conditions that incorporates ecological, economic, and social factors. It is applied within a geographic framework defined primarily by ecological rather than political boundaries. Eco-Logical will be an important tool for strengthening the link between transportation planning and NEPA.

- Abstract / Press

for First Time (Jan
22, 2010)
International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Invasive alien species, ranging from disease and plants,
to rats and goats, are one of the top three threats
to life on this planet, according to a new publication
coordinated by the Global
Invasive Species Programme, of which IUCN is
a partner. The authors looked at 57 countries and found that,
on average, there are 50 non-indigenous species per country
which have a negative impact on biodiversity.

Burdens Future Generations with Biological Invasions (Dec
20, 2010)
Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research.
A new study on biological invasions based on extensive data of alien species
from 10 taxonomic groups and 28 European countries has shown that patterns of
established alien species richness are more related to historical levels of socio-economic
drivers than to contemporary ones. An international group of 16 researchers reported
the new findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of
the United States of America (PNAS) article Socioeconomic
legacy yields an invasion debt. The researchers found that the frequent delay
between the first introduction of a species in a new territory and its establishment
and spread suggest that invasions triggered by current economic behavior will
possibly take a long time to become fully realized, causing an "invasion
debt". The publication resulted from the three-year project DAISIE
(Delivering Alien Invasive Inventory for Europe, funded by European Union
within its 6th Framework Programme.

To mark International Biodiversity Day 2009, Natural England published a major
report (Horizon
Scanning for New Invasive Non-Native Animal Species in England) identifying
the potential for a number of non-native animal species to increase in number
in England and become invasive. Non-native species pose one of the biggest threats
to England's natural biodiversity and ecosystems. Of 161 species evaluated, 84
were categorised as medium to high risk in terms of the likelihood of their becoming
invasive and the disruption they could have on our natural environment and native
wildlife.

Great Britain Non-native Species Secretariat; Scottish
Goverment.
The financial cost of non-native species has been published in a new report. "The
Economic Cost of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) to the British Economy" suggests
that invasive species cost 1.7 billion pounds every year. The research was conducted
by the international scientific organization CABI for
the Scottish Government, Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government and breaks down
the effect on each country. It indicates that the economic cost of INNS can be
wide ranging and can result in the loss of crops, ecosystems and livelihoods.
The cost to the agriculture and horticulture sector alone is estimated to be
1 billion pounds across Britain. See Great
Britain Non-native Species Secretariat - Reports for the full report and

It illustrates the problem's scale in terms of the number and range of native species at risk. This report provides a long-overdue baseline on invasive animals that can be used to make informed management and policy decisions into the future.
