Invasive Animals Ltd

Invasive Animals Ltd (IAL) was established to be a nonprofit institution to promote a managed and cooperative approach to Research Development & Extension (RD&E) in the field of invasive species management to maximise the benefits from that RD&E. IAL s shortterm objective is to continue its work promoting and managing strategic RD&E through the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions (CISS) with a broader ecosystem focus, requiring it to balance the focus on pest and weeds at a landscape scale across agriculture, environment and social amenity outcomes; with a deeper environmental biosecurity emphasis ie a stronger focus on biosecurity threats and how these biosecurity pressures can impact both threatened species and the environment and with a wider service base that includes invasive species management and control. IAL s longterm objective is to secure the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions (CISS) as a permanent national collaborative invasive species institution that enables and drives a more coordinated and efficient approach to invasive species management across Australia s National Biosecurity System. This will include pursuing a broader RD&E scope that covers vertebrate pests, weeds and environmental invertebrates and diseases, and diversifies revenue by attracting additional project funding that aligns with the CISS strategy.
