Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species - Sovereign Base Areas of Cyprus, Cyprus
checklistThe Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS) presents validated and verified checklists of introduced (alien) and invasive alien species at the country, territory, and associated island level.
The primary intention of GRIIS is to provide checklists for countries, islands and soon also for protected areas. Checklists are living entities, especially for biological invasions given the growing nature of the problem. GRIIS checklists are based on a published methodology and supported by the Integrated Publishing Tool that jointly enable ongoing improvements and updates to expand their taxonomic coverage and completeness.
Phase 1 of the project focused on developing validated and verified checklists of countries that are Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Phase 2 which is on-going, aims to achieve global coverage including non-party countries and all overseas territories of countries e.g. Netherlands, France and United Kingdom. Species belonging to all Kingdoms are covered as well as occurring in all environment/systems.
Country/ Territory/ Island checklists are reviewed and verified by networks of country or species experts. Verified checklists/ species records as well as those under review are presented on the online GRIIS website (www.griis.org) in addition to being published through the GBIF IPT
This annotated checklist is of introduced (alien) and invasive alien species known to occur in the Sovereign Base Areas of Cyprus
