Mission Statement
The Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver provides leadership in the region on invasive species management through programs, resources, services, and collaboration with partners.
About This Cause
Invasive species are the second-greatest threat to biodiversity worldwide, after habitat loss. They can impact the environment, the economy, and public health and safety. Their presence has implications for biodiversity, food security, recreation, culture, Indigenous values, housing and real estate, transportation, climate-change planning, infrastructure, agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. While the Metro Vancouver region is a relatively small geographic area of British Columbia, over half the provincial population lives within its 3,000 square kilometers. This region is a major transportation hub for both goods and people and a significant center for horticultural trade and development, key pathways for the introduction and spread of many invasive species. The ISCMV represents and serves a diverse range of invasive species management interests across the region. We provide support to all levels of government, stewardship groups, academic institutions, environmental professionals, nurseries, landscapers, non-profit organizations, and the public. Help us minimize the environmental, social and economic impacts of invasive species in Metro Vancouver!
