This app is developed by the Joint Research Centre, the in-house science service of the European Commission. Its aim is to enable the general public (amateurs and professionals) to receive and share information about Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in Europe. Specifically, the app’s purposes are:
1) to allow recording invasive species occurrences by using citizen phones’ GPS system and phones’ cameras;
2) to provide information about a selected number of IAS (pictures, short description, addition useful information);
3) to foster citizens’ awareness about the problems caused by IAS in Europe and actively getting the public involved in the management of IAS.
This app includes a preliminary selection of IAS of European priority. More species are expected to be added in subsequent releases of the app., following the progress of the European policy on IAS.
Alien Species are increasing worldwide and are currently present in almost every ecosystem type on Earth. They belong to all major taxonomic groups, including viruses, fungi, algae, mosses, ferns, higher plants, invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. In some cases they have become invasive, affecting native biota. Invasive alien species can transform the structure and species composition of ecosystems by repressing or excluding native species, either directly by predation, competing with them for resources, or indirectly by modifying habitats. The effects to human health include the spread of diseases and allergens, while to the economy there can be damage to agriculture and infrastructure.
It is estimated that 10-15 % of the alien species identified in Europe are invasive, causing environmental, economic and/or social damage.
Recognising the increasingly serious problem of IAS in Europe, the European Commission has recently published a dedicated Regulation on Invasive Alien Species (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:JOL_2014_317_R_0003). Implementation of this Regulation will be supported by an information system developed by the JRC (http://easin.jrc.ec.europa.eu/about).
This app is developed as part of the MYGEOSS project, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. The project aims at developing smart Internet applications to inform and engage European citizens about the changes affecting their environment, and extend the pool of open source software and open data available to the global community through the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (http://earthobservations.org/index.php).
