Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species - Cyprus

The Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS) presents validated and verified national checklists of introduced (alien) and invasive alien species at the country, territory, and associated island level.

Checklists are living entities, especially for biological invasions given the growing nature of the problem. GRIIS checklists are based on a published methodology and supported by the Integrated Publishing Tool that jointly enable ongoing improvements and updates to expand their taxonomic coverage and completeness.

Phase 1 of the project focused on developing validated and verified checklists of countries that are Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Phase 2 aimed to achieve global coverage including non-party countries and all overseas territories of countries, e.g. those of the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom.

All kingdoms of organisms occurring in all environments and systems are covered.

Checklists are reviewed and verified by networks of country or species experts. Verified checklists/ species records, as well as those under review, are presented on the online GRIIS website (www.griis.org) in addition to being published through the GBIF Integrated Publishing Tool.

全球引入及入侵物种注册表（GRIIS）呈现了经验证和核实的各国、领土及其相关岛屿的引入（外来）和入侵外来物种的国家清单。清单作为生物入侵问题日益严重背景下的动态实体，具有特殊意义。GRIIS清单基于已发表的编制方法，并得到综合出版工具的支持，共同促进其分类覆盖范围和完整性的持续改进和更新。项目第一阶段集中于编制生物多样性公约（CBD）缔约国的验证和核实清单。第二阶段旨在实现全球覆盖，包括非缔约国以及所有国家的海外领土，例如荷兰、法国和英国的领土。所有环境与系统中存在的生物界的所有王国均被涵盖。清单由各国或物种专家网络进行审查和核实。经核实的清单/物种记录，以及正在审查的记录，均在GRIIS在线网站（www.griis.org）上展示，同时通过GBIF综合出版工具进行发布。
