Motivation edit

From the official About page:

The Global Invasive Species Database is a free, online searchable source of information about alien and invasive species that negatively impact biodiversity. The GISD aims to increase public awareness about invasive species and to facilitate effective prevention and management activities by disseminating specialist’s knowledge and experience to a broad global audience. It focuses on invasive alien species that threaten native biodiversity and natural areas and covers all taxonomic groups from micro-organisms to animals and plants.

The Global Invasive Species Database (GISD) is managed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the IUCN Species Survival Commission. It was developed between 1998 and 2000 as part of the global initiative on invasive species led by the erstwhile Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP).

This database provides detailed information (and many supporting bibliographic references) on taxon across the world which are deemed invasive. Dhx1 (talk) 13:58, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose An outdated database with less than 1000 entries. --Succu (talk) 20:04, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. IUCN are a highly reputable organisation. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:23, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I've no idea why Opuntia cochenillifera (Q310979) is on that list. --Succu (talk) 19:36, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - seems incomplete with regards to this species, since it does not seem to have a native range and has no contact information. However I will support this with caution. Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 00:48, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support though it seems a little out of date in places, so I urge careful use. However the IUCN SSC's are usually fairly good on data. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) ^talk 00:48, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
