The dedication and contributions of all those mentioned above 
ensured the outcome of the Assessment of Invasive Alien 
Species and their Control as a unique, robust and rich report. 
It has been a privilege to have the opportunity to collaborate 
with so many inspiring people, in all their many and varied 
roles. We are confident that the Assessment will be impactful, 
increasing global awareness of the significant threats to 
biodiversity and human communities posed by invasive alien 
species and, very importantly, what can be done to prevent 
and control them.
