Benchmark Endnote
89.  Number of most threatening invasive species not successfully excluded or contained since 2000

Explanation: This benchmark measures our success at excluding harmful invasive species. Invasive species are non-native plants, animals and microorganisms that would cause significant economic or environmental damage if they were to become established in the state. The list of the 100 most dangerous invasive species threatening the state is updated annually by the Oregon Invasive Species Council. This benchmark does not include invasive species that were in Oregon prior to 2000 such as Scotch broom.
Target: Targets set by the Oregon Progress Board.
