Limiting invasive species may be a better goal than eliminating them, new research suggests
Managing invasive species not eliminating them altogether is a better use of time and conservation resources in many cases, according to a study led by a University of Alberta biologist.
Every year, hundreds of introduced species cause billions of dollars in damage to ecosystems, agriculture and infrastructure in North America alone. The research, led by Stephanie Green, makes a case for working smarter, not harder, to temper the impact of destructive and widespread invasive species using a strategy called functional eradication.
“Rather than trying to completely eliminate invasive species that have spread over large areas, which is very challenging, functional eradication aims to limit their abundances below levels that damage the ecosystem in priority locations. Resources that might otherwise be wasted on attempting complete eradication can be spread to other areas, protectin

EDWARDSVILLE Effective mentorship plays a pivotal role in the success of graduate students, as supportive mentorship relationships are linked to student retention, degree completion and early career success.
That’s why the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Graduate School has centered its new Innovation and Excellence in Graduate Education (IEGE) grant program’s inaugural funding on projects that enhance the quality and effectiveness of graduate student mentorship.

Botswana’s Negotiator at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Professor Julius Atlhopheng has said that funding mechanisms remain a major challenge for countries with low economies to implement their pledges for the Paris Agreement of 2015.
During the Conference of Parties (COP21), also Paris Agreement, countries pledged to reduce their emission of Green House Gases (GHG) so that they reduce the rise of global temperature by 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030.
In an interview with this publication at his office at the Department of Environmental Science, Professor Atlhopheng indicated that all countries had submitted what was called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). Although even developed countries are far from reaching their targets, developing countries are compromised by lack of funding. They do not have budget for tackling climate change.
