ZOOM ON THE INVASIVES!
IUCN is launching a first-ever photo competition to raise awareness of the impact of alien invasive species on native animals and plants, ecosystems and people's livelihoods. Feral pigs, crazy ants, water hyacinths, zebra mussels, brushtail possums and other 'invaders' will be in the spotlight of the competition, which was made possible thanks to the generous support of Fujifilm. Professional and amateur photographers are invited to submit their photos to the competition until 22 October 2004. The winner will receive a cash prize of US$ 1'000 while the ten best photos will be displayed at the upcoming 3rd IUCN World Conservation Congress, which will look in particular at ways of coping with alien invasive species through its "Biodiversity Loss and Species Extinction - Managing risk in a changing world" theme.
