Van Driesche, Jason and Roy Van Driesche. 2001. Guilty until proven innocent: Preventing nonnative species invasions. Conservation In Practice: A Publication of the Society for Conservation Biology 2, no. 1 (winter):8-19.

This article from "Conservation in Practice" (Winter 2001 Vol. 2, No. 1) discusses using what's been called the "precautionary principle"--whereby species are considered "guilty" of being potentially invasive until proven "innocent" (non-invasive)--to prevent non-native species invasions.

The Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk (HEAR) project is currently funded by the Pacific Basin Information Node (PBIN) of the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) through PIERC (USGS) with support from HCSU (UH-Hilo).
