All-points Bulletin (APB)

PROCESS: You will choose one of the invasive species below to research and then create an "APB" .

1. Tree of Heaven 8. Garlic Mustard 15. Fire Ant 2. Wild boar (feral pig) 9. Phragmites 16. Asian Tiger Mosquito 3. Africanized honeybee 10. Zebra Mussel 17. Goldfish 4. Gypsy Moth 11. Purple loosestrife 18. Hemlock woolly adelgid 5. Brown Tree Snake 12. Kudzu 19. Asian Long-horned beetle 6. Burmese Python 13. Mongoose 20. Hydrilla 7. Starling 14. Asian Carp 21. West Nile Virus

PRODUCT: You will prepare your APB on regular sized piece of notebook paper (you may use front and back). This APB would be sent out all over the US to look for and capture invasive species that are destroying our ecosystem . Your wanted poster must include:

 Name and aliases – Species genus (latin name) and common name (the one listed above)  Picture - can be hand drawn or from the internet  Last Seen - where did it come from/originate?  Known Hideouts - where does it live now (including states/regions of country would be helpful)?  Accomplices - what helped it get here (hitchhiked, swam, was a pet, etc.)?  Crime - what are the impacts of the presence of this invasive (ecologically, economically, etc.)?  Reward – How will the ecosystem benefit if the organism is removed from the area it doesn’t belong in?
