Dear interested parties

I am offering a training course which will introduce you to the
Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT), a scheme that
was adopted by the IUCN as an official Standard in 2020. The course will
take place online from 12-14 April 2021 – it is a full time course with
some set live contact sessions on zoom, but you will mainly be working
through the materials in your own time. All the training materials will be
available online for the duration of the course.

*Course content *

The IUCN Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT)
assesses the magnitude of environmental impacts caused by alien
(introduced, non-native) species on native biota in their introduced
ranges. This course aims to provide training on the IUCN EICAT, which was
accepted as a global IUCN Standard in 2020. It consists of multiple modules
with several lessons each on the rules and standards used for IUCN EICAT
assessments. In this curriculum, you will learn about the IUCN EICAT
assessment process and how to compile a transparent and scientifically
robust IUCN EICAT assessment.

Please indicate your interest in the course via email to Siyasanga Miza (
s.miza@xxxxxxxxxxxx) by 18 February 2021.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sabrina Kumschick, course teacher

Senior Researcher at the Centre for Invasion Biology, Stellenbosch
University, South Africa
