Become a program partnerThe Invaders Early Detection and Reporting (EDR) Initiative supports the creation and perpetuation of a network of local citizen scientist teams who seek out and report outbreaks of selected environmentally and economically harmful invasive species. These teams, coordinated by Strange Days consortium partners, will contribute important data to local and national resource managers who will, in turn, coordinate appropriate responses to control the spread of unwanted invaders. The Invaders EDR Initiative is designed to move the target audience beyond awareness to action on invasive species. The Invaders of the Sonoran Desert Region EDR Program was developed by the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM) with Sea Studios Foundation, National Geographic, and Vulcan Productions. Following field-testing this spring, the Resource Kit created at ASDM will be distributed throughout the nation through a consortium of zoos, aquaria, and botanical gardens who will train volunteers in their own local areas to become part of this national effort. You can develop an Invaders EDR program at your institution.The ASDM Resource Kit below will help develop your own invasive species citizen scientist program.
