Below is a list of numerous organizations that work towards controlling invasive species. Under each name appears a link to the organization's website and a short summary of the organization given by the website.
Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force
http://www.anstaskforce.gov/default.php
"The Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Task Force is an intergovernmental organization dedicated to preventing and controlling aquatic nuisance species, and implementing the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act (NANPCA) of 1990. "
National Park Service
http://www.nps.gov/index.htm"The National Park Service cares for America's nearly 400 national parks…and works in almost every one of her 3,141 counties.National Park Service professionals take our mission on the road offering advice, technical assistance, recognition, and even cold, hard cash to help communities across the country preserve their own history and create close-to-home recreation opportunities."
Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee
http://asiancarp.us/
"The Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee with support from federal, state, and local agencies, and other private stakeholder entities, will create a sustainable Asian carp control program to prevent introduction and implement actions to protect and maintain the integrity and safety of the Great Lakes ecosystem from an Asian carp invasion via all viable pathways. The goals and actions of the ACRCC are outlined in the annual Asian Carp Control Strategy Framework and the Monitoring and Response Plan"
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
http://www.csiro.au/
"CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world."
United States Department of Agriculture
http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome
"USDA recognizes that conservation by farmers, ranchers and forest owners today means thriving and sustainable agriculture for our future. Seventy percent of the nation's land is privately owned and conservation of our nation's private lands not only results in healthy soil, water, air, plants, animals and ecosystems, it also provides productive and sustainable working lands."
US Forest Service
http://www.fs.fed.us/
"The Forest Service was born with the first conservation movement more than a century ago. Like nature, the agency continues to evolve and adapt. People are part of the ecosystem and have been so for thousands of years. The agency seeks to meet the diverse needs of many people, now and into the future."
Wildlife Forever
http://www.wildlifeforever.org/
"Wildlife Forever's grassroots conservation projects fall into four categories:
FISH AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT - Wildlife Forever has been involved in countless species re-introductions, bringing fish and wildlife back to the places they were once found
HABITAT - Loss of living space is perhaps the greatest challenge facing both fish and wildlife. Millions of acres of wetlands and habitat are conserved across 34 states with the help of Wildlife Forever members and donors.
EDUCATION - Wildlife Forever leads the nation in educating the public about the devastation caused by invasive species and recruiting to help prevent their spread,Our visionary conservation education programs for children include the State-Fish Art Contest, the Critter Books pocket guide series and a 14 lesson CD-ROM Curriculum.
RESEARCH - Every Wildlife Forever project is based on the solid scientific knowledge of biologists. Wildlife Forever is at the forefront of research efforts to better understand the complexities of fish and wildlife."
Center for Invasive Species Management
http://www.weedcenter.org/
"CISM MissionTo promote ecologically sound management of invasive species in western North America by sponsoring research, conducting public education, and facilitating collaboration and communication among researchers, educators, policy makers, natural resource managers, and the concerned public."
Vertebrate Pest Control Research Advisory Committee
http://www.vpcrac.org/
"VPCRAC research projects investigate effective and economical alternative materials for the control of vertebrate pests. We solicit and consider research proposals for alternative humane methods of control, and continue the state's current vertebrate pest control product registrations until such time as effective alternative products are available. This research is for the development of scientific data required to maintain registrations. VPCRAC cooperates with the US Department of Agriculture in funding research programs to maintain, develop, and register vertebrate pest control materials used in California."
National Resource Management Ministerial Council
http://www.mincos.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx
"Comprises Australian, state and territory and New Zealand government ministers with responsibilities for land and water management. Papua New Guinea and the Australian Local Government Association participate as observers. The major role of the Ministerial Council is to better integrate Australia's conservation and sustainable production objectives."
