This will be the third in a series of international conferences focussed on invasive alien species (IAS) on islands, their impact and management. It follows those held in Auckland (2001) and New Zealand (2010). This conference is being held in Dundee, Scotland.

The decision was made to hold this conference primarily because of the help that we received from the Island Invasives community whist undertaking the South Georgia rodent eradication (or Habitat Restoration Project)
