Pourquoi participer

This session will teach you how to use EICAT, the Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa, which allows to assess the alien species with the highest impacts, therefore assisting in prioritisation of management actions.

Description de la séance

The session will start by providing an introduction to EICAT, its purpose and possible uses. Participants will then be shown what is involved in submitting an EICAT assessment, how to do it and the steps involved until publication in the Global Invasive Species Database (GISD). This will be followed by applying the EICAT categories and criteria through a short exercise. There will be room for questions and answers, as well as a discussion on the tool and its uses.
