knowledge as authors, fellows, review editors (all of them 
listed below) and contributing authors of the Assessment 
of Invasive Alien Species and their Control, as well as 
to the management committee who provided oversight 
and guidance to its development. The Assessment team 
has contributed thousands of hours of collaborative and 
voluntary work to provide the best available knowledge 
on invasive alien species and their control. We have all 
encountered various challenges, not least the COVID-19 
pandemic, throughout the assessment, but the dedication, 
determination and commitment of everyone involved has 
been outstanding.
