The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), specifically its Pacific Island Ecosystem Research Center (PIERC) and Fort Collins Science Center (FORT), is offering a cooperative agreement for a CESU-affiliated partner. This grant supports critical research within the Brown Treesnake Project, focusing on evaluating the feasibility of eradicating and suppressing Brown treesnakes (BTS) in both fenced and unfenced conservation areas. The initiative involves developing and implementing a multi-faceted control program. A key objective is to identify the potential for ecological restoration in affected areas once BTS abundance is significantly reduced. This funding opportunity aims to advance effective conservation strategies against invasive species.
