Invasive alien species (IAS) explored in a CABI-published book pose the biggest threat to biodiversity, crop and/or livestock production, human and/or animal health, and economic development in the Caribbean.

These include rats, cats, mongooses and monkeys as part of a list of 171 exotic, non-native, non-indigenous or foreign animal species detailed in the 402-page “Guide to the Alien and Invasive Animals of the Caribbean,” by Dr. Arne Witt, CABI’s Invasives Coordinator, South.
