A decision-support tool for identifying and categorizing species that might enter a particular country from another country. The tool uses CABI data to generate a list of species that are absent from a selected ‘area at risk’ but present in ‘source countries’ i.e. countries with similar climates to the ‘area at risk’, neighbouring or selected trading countries, or countries where there are major transport links. This tool has a free and a premium version. The free version is linked to the open-access Invasive Species Compendium which covers the most invasive pests of the world and other invasive groups. The premium version requires a subscription to the Crop Protection Compendium and includes more extensive plant pest data and additional search options. CABI offers a gratis subscription to NPPOs in over 100 low- and middle-income countries; for other users there is a subscription cost.
