Several regional agencies and organizations have partnered to create the Northwest Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change (NW RISCC) Network, a community of practice dedicated to helping practitioners address the nexus of climate change and invasive species, including plants, animals, and pathogens. The objective is to help practitioners within federal, tribal, state, and local agencies and conservation organizations integrate climate change science and adaptation with invasive species prevention, early detection, control, monitoring, and research activities.
