Study
Finds that Local Government, Home Owners Are Paying
for Damages Caused by Non-native Forest Insects (Sep
9, 2011)
USDA. FS.
Northern Research Station.
Non-native, wood-boring insects such as the emerald
ash borer and the Asian
longhorned beetle are costing an estimated $1.7
billion in local government expenditures and approximately
$830 million in lost residential property values
every year, according to study by a research team
that included scientists with the U.S. Forest Service, Northern
Research Station. This study provides the most
comprehensive estimates of the costs of non-native
forest insects that are currently available for the U.S.

Cost
of Invasive Non-native Species – Early Eradication
Lessens Impact (Dec 15, 2010)
Scottish Goverment.
The financial cost of non-native species has been published in a new report. "The
Economic Cost of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) to the British Economy" suggests
that invasive species cost 1.7 billion pounds every year. The research was conducted
by the international scientific organization CABI for
the Scottish Government, Defra and the Welsh Assembly Government and breaks down
the effect on each country. It indicates that the economic cost of INNS can be
wide ranging and can result in the loss of crops, ecosystems and livelihoods.
The cost to the agriculture and horticulture sector alone is estimated to be
1 billion pounds across Britain. See Great
Britain Non-native Species Secretariat - Reports for the full report and
supporting document.

 Annual
Losses to Great Lakes Region by Ship-borne Invasive
Species at least $200 Million (Jul 2008; PDF | 154
KB) / More Information about the Economic
Impacts of Invasive Species
Great Lakes United.
A U.S. study
conducted by the Center
for Aquatic Conservation at the University
of Notre Dame
and University of Wyoming suggests invasive species
brought in by ocean-going ships may be costing
the Great Lakes region more than $200 million
a year in losses to commerical fishing, sport
fishing, and the area's water supply.

Soybean Rust was detected in the United States for the first time in Nov
2004. Soybean rust has reduced yields and raised production costs in major production
regions around the world. |
