SUMMARY:Invasive Species: What they are, How they get here, and Why we should care
DESCRIPTION:
 Invasive species can dramatically change the landscape 
 and cause harm to both our economy and 
 environment, making this an important topic 
 in conservation.\n
 \n
 Within the United States, 
 invasive species have contributed to the decline 
 of 42% of threatened and endangered species 
 , costing the country approximately $120 
 billion a year. This talk will discuss how 
 invasive species contribute to the decline of 
 biodiversity, pathways of introduction, steps 
 we can take to prevent new infestations, and 
 learn about some species already found here.\n
 \n
 This 
 presentation is part of the Great Lakes 
 Lectures series, online lectures featuring 
 academics from Michigan State University. 
 This series is organized by Prof. Dan Hayden 
 and Dr. Elias Aydi, and live streamed from the 
 Digital Scholarship lab at MSU Libraries.\n\n
