Colorado Sate University.
An invasive species mapping program that allows citizens, school groups, and
professionals to enter invasive species observations into a global database.
Provides the training and tools to allow anyone to participate in research on
species distributions. For starters, we are focusing on engaing citizen scientists
to help map invasive species.
Note: Funded by by National Science Foundation (NSF); joint effort with the U.S. Geological
Survey and under the supervision of the National
Institute of Invasive Species Science.

pestMapper (PDF | 614 KB) is a Google Map based georeference
software for detecting, alerting, and mapping agricultural
pest outbreaks, invasive species, and other important
events related to pest occurrence globally. It is a web-based
system designed to collect and visualise pest data, based
on geography, time, pest species, and host plant. The
system provides a starting point for real-time information
on a broad range of agricultural pests and biological
invasives. Although still under development, the system
is being applied to dynamically map important agricultural
pests in Asia and Africa.
