How do I tag Invasive Alien Species (IAS)
"Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are [animals and] plants that are introduced accidently or deliberately into a natural environment where they are not normally found, with serious negative consequences for their new environment."(1)
In my region, there are 3 species that I would like to map when walking:
- Balsamine de l'Himalaya (fr), *Impatiens glandulifera*, Indian balsam (en)
- Berce du caucase (fr), *Heracleum mantegazzianum*, Giant hogweed (en)
- Renouée du japon (fr), * Fallopia japonica*, Japanese knotweed (en)
Any experience on this ?
