This page, which provides links to information sources from each of the three countries, was developed by the Biodiversity Information Working Table in support of the Trilateral Committee's activities. The Executive Table endorsed the creation of this page at its VIII Meeting, based on the recommendations arising from the May 2003 Trilateral invasive species plenary session.
