Invasive Species Task Team
Task Team Purpose
The Invasive Species Task Team consists of representatives from diverse backgrounds, including government agencies, academia, zoos, and the pet industry, working together to increase public awareness about invasive species. We focus on invasive species of plants and animals that negatively impact native herpetofauna, as well as invasive species of amphibians and reptiles that negatively impact the environment and people.
Our diverse group collaborates to produce educational products for distribution by herpetological societies, reptile rescue groups, nature centers, pet stores, zoos, and others. Some of our recent products are highlighted below. Feel free to download and distribute these materials to anyone who may benefit from them.
