Invasive species are a major threat to biodiversity worldwide and are severely impacting our regional ecosystems. The "Invasive Species Summit: Challenges, Strategies, and Perspectives" was co-presented by The New York Botanical Garden and Lower Hudson PRISM. The Morning Plenary Session can be viewed on YouTube [1]. This document contains the PowerPoint Presentations from Dr. Linda Rohleder, Dr. Daniel Simberloff, Chris Zimmerman, and Dr. Steven Handel. That addressed the big picture impacts of invasive species from a global to regional level, what is being done to manage them, how restoring ecosystems can help, and implications for the future.
