MEDIA ADVISORY
PRESS CONFERENCE
INVASIVE SPECIES CRISIS
A REPORT ON
INVASIVE SPECIES THREAT TO AMERICA'S DECLINING BIRDS
One-Third of Audubon Watchlist Species Affected
National Audubon Society's analysis of the threat invasive species pose to
America's birds and wildlife will be released at a press conference. Invasive
species have infested more than 100 million acres of the American landscape,
cause more than $130 billion of damage to the American economy each year, and
constitute a primary threat to America's declining birds and other wildlife.
The report, Cooling the Hot Spots, demonstrates that invasive species are
rapidly destroying valuable habitat needed by some of America's
fastest-declining birds, and identifies ten invasive species Hot Spots in need
of protection, to give a science-based road map toward meaningful conservation
progress.
WHO: Bob Perciasepe, Senior Vice President for Public Policy, Audubon
Congressman Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland
Congressman Ron Kind of Wisconsin
Congressman Brian Baird of Washington
Other Members of Congress are expected to attend
WHEN: Tues., June 24, 2003
