Species of Concern
Species of concern are species that have not established fully in the region, giving us a chance to stop these invaders in their tracks through eradication and rapid response efforts. If you believe you have identified one of these animals, please contact PRISM staff using the contact page and/or upload your observation to iMapInvasives.
Factsheets for each of these species are coming soon.

These practices primarily include containing a species if it is in a low enough abundance and/or developing local management strategies to suppress their impacts.
