[MAIPC] looking for noteworthy invasive species programs and policies

[Nathan Hartshorne]

In terms of preventing invasions, rather than treating them, from what I
read, Australia and NZ have the best strategies, being very proactive.
Nothing is allowed in unless it can pass a series of questions.  Granted
that doesn't mean the plants are actively studied first, just what is known
about them is looked at, but essentially things aren't allowed in
automatically, rather than our more passive approach to banning things once
the damage is done.  Hawaii might also be good, but I can't remember at the
moment.
