Abstract
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a global threat to biodiversity as they outcompete native plants and animals, alter traditional ecosystems, and can quickly spread far and wide. IAS also threaten to disrupt traditional knowledge systems closely related to native plants and animals within an ecosystem. Within the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region (MABR) on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, IAS have been highlighted as a significant threat to the region's biodiversity by shared responsibility holders (SRHs). Our research project aims to understand the perceptions of SRHs within the MABR regarding IAS and their management. The research focuses on a futures thinking approach known as the Three Horizons framework to understand the current perceptions and management of IAS between different SRHs within the MABR and the visions for future management.
