[MAIPC] 2 upcoming meetings + Faith's blog about inv spp intro rates

[Phytodoer at aol.com]

Hello,
forest pest mavens & others
 
I have posted a blog at _www.cisp.us_ (http://www.cisp.us)  or 
_www.nivemnic.us_ (http://www.nivemnic.us)  that reports on the Hanno  Seebens & 40+ 
colleagues - showing that introductions of invasive species  continued to rise 
in the 20th Century & first years of the 21st ... policies  are not yet 
adequately effective in turning back this tidal wave ...
 
2 meetings in May provide opportunity to join others working on these  
problems.  
 
1) The North American Invasive Species Forum - which meets every other year 
 - is meeting in Savannah, GA on May 9 - 11.  I hope this meeting will help 
 bridge the gap between "invasive species" activists and official 
"phytosanitary"  types.  The agenda and registration information is at 
http://www.invasivespecies2017.org/
 
2) IUFRO section on Foliage, shoot and stem diseases of forest trees will  
be in Niagara Falls, Ontario on May 7-11, 2017. This year’s meeting  theme: 
Invasive Forest Pathogens & Implications for Biology and  Policy. Details 
are at https://www.cif-ifc.org/iufroworkingparty2017/
 
Wish I could go to both!
 
Faith Campbell
