Please read the guidelines
for Non-native Genotypes on NRS Reserves
Research that involves
the introduction or translocation of a plant, animal, or microorganism
on an NRS reserve can endanger both the native populations of
the same species and the entire community in which the species
lives. Since 2001, a systemwide process has been in place to evaluate
proposed introductions and translocations of exotic genotypes
and to provide guidance to prevent the problems associated with
them.
