Scorecards

We have developed a scorecard template to help us rate, for a given species, its impacts and our ability to respond to the species. We have drafted scorecards for many of the species listed. Please visit the Species List for a list of candidate species. The scorecard value summary lists the possible values for each attributes along with their intended meaning.
