The post Horizon scanning for future issues affecting invasive species management: call for participants appeared first on Biodiversity Professionals.
]]>During the first phase of the project, we are gathering opinions via an online survey on the global and local issues that might affect the management of biological invasions in the next 20 to 50 years. We want to explore issues that may emerge and have implications in a more distant future than currently considered in the management of biological invasions. These can be issues which might have positive or negative implications.
We invite people working with or interested in biological invasions to fill in the survey on our website: www.alienfutures.org.

The survey is also available in French and Spanish on that page. We encourage people to think creatively beyond the time frame of their current work. All of the issues identified will be published online on the project webpage. Project outputs will include a long list of global issues, a long list of local issues and a shortlist of global issues. We will make the data available for use and further research, with workshops planned to explore the implications of these issues for policy and management.
We would like to distribute the survey as widely as possible and ask people to share it within their networks. Please contact us at info@alienfutures.org if you want an email draft (available in English, French and Spanish).
You can follow the progress of the project on the website www.alienfutures.org or Twitter at @alienfutures. You can search or follow using the hashtag #alienfutures.
