New Prosopis field handbook published

Recently, the Woody Weeds project has published its 40-page Prosopis field guide. The guide, which is aimed at a variety of stakeholders, contains accessible information about the identification of Prosopis juliflora trees, their impact on livelihoods and the environment, as well as management strategies and practices.

The information in the field guide is part based on research carried out in the Woody Weeds project and contains additional information about management strategies and practices to tackle biological invasions, including dealing with invasive plant species at different invasion stages and classical biological control.

The content of the field guide is being used to develop other information materials, such as Swahili-language flyers about prosopis identification and prosopis management.

The guide can be downloaded here.
