Invasive Species and Tourism - An Invasive Wise Tourism Plan - Anthony Mallinson, Invasive Species Council of BC

This webinar will highlight the many connections between invasive species and the tourism industry – how visitors can unknowingly (and sometimes on purpose!) introduce invasive species; the impacts on biodiversity, the economy, and the industry as a whole; and how the industry can work to prevent their spread. The webinar is an introduction to the online resource package and training course to be released by ISCBC in Spring 2021.
