"I am very pleased to make available to the scientific community and those actively involved in
biodiversity management the first publication in the CBD Technical Series. It contains abstracts of posters
and keynote addresses presented at the sixth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and
Technological Advice held in Montreal from 12 to 16 March 2001. The abstracts focus on one of the main
factors leading to biodiversity loss, namely, invasive alien species, that threaten ecosystems, habitat and
species. It is my hope that this publication will broaden our understanding of the complexity of the issue
of invasive alien species and at the same time facilitate the implementation of remedial measures to reduce
or halt biodiversity loss attributed to invasive alien species. -Hamdallah Zedan, Executive Secretary"
