In recognition of black history month, we are sharing an important paper that reflects on how we can construct a more equal, inclusive, and socially just conservation field.
Dr. Deah Lieurance led the first all-taxa horizon scan to identify invasive species threats in the U.S. She also actively promotes diversity, equity and inclusion in scientific fields.
"Being able to predict which non-native species are likely to become invasive is kind of a holy grail of invasion biology that we hope to help reach," says Dr. Bianca Lopez, who studies the combined effects of invasive species and environmental change.
