INVERSA™ Silverfin

INVERSA™ Silverfin, with its smooth and elegant scaling pattern, restores the Mississippi River Basin, where these non-native carp outcompete indigenous species from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.

Material Overview

  • The Mississippi River Basin, a 30-million-acre crucial ecological lifeline for North America, supports over 870 species of fish and wildlife and sustains global communities. The overpopulation of Silverfin, or non-native carp, threatens this rich biodiversity, causing ecological imbalances and putting the livelihoods of those who depend on the river system’s health and resources at risk.

  • Each INVERSA™ Silverfin hide protects & restores up to —

    • 90% of native biomass in the Mississippi River Basin

    • 120+ native freshwater species

INVERSA™ Python

INVERSA™ Python is humanely sourced to protect the Greater Everglades ecosystem, North America’s last subtropical wilderness in the United States.

Material Overview

  • The Greater Everglades, an 11.5-million-acre subtropical wetland in Florida, is home to coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes, and pine flatwoods that provide critical habitats for hundreds of species and coastal protection against flooding. Indigenous mammal populations play a key role in maintaining this balance, but non-native pythons are severely reducing their numbers through indiscriminate predation and are destroying this once-vibrant ecosystem.

  • Each INVERSA™ Python hide protects & restores up to —

    • 90% of native wildlife populations eliminated by pythons

INVERSA™ Iguana

INVERSA™ Iguana supports the protection of Florida’s coastal habitats by reducing non-native iguanas that erode shorelines and threaten native species and communities.

Material Overview

  • Coastal and South Florida, a mosaic of mangroves, dunes, hardwood hammocks, and urban shorelines, support a remarkable array of native wildlife and shield communities from storms and erosion. Yet invasive iguanas, through persistent burrowing and voracious feeding on vital vegetation, undermine these fragile ecosystems and disrupt the species that depend on them.

  • Each INVERSA™ Iguana hide protects & restores up to —

    • 100+ native species including burrowing owls, gopher tortoises, and the endangered Miami Blue Butterfly

    • 2.4 meters of soil depth vulnerable to erosion, undermined by a single iguana’s extensive burrow systems.

    • $32K of single-season losses incurred by farmers due to non-native iguanas.

INVERSA™ Lionfish

INVERSA™ Lionfish, with its refined scale pattern, not only protects native reef fish, but also their coral reef homes, letting the ocean breathe freely.

Material Overview

  • The coral reefs in the Caribbean are biodiversity hotspots that support 42M livelihoods and protect coastlines from storms and erosion. Today, non-native lionfish present one of the greatest ecological and economical threats here — lionfish infest over 7M+ square kilometers of reef systems, and a single lionfish consumes up to 70K native fish.

  • Each INVERSA™ Lionfish hide protects & restores up to —

    • 70,000 native reef fish consumed by each Lionfish

    • 79% of juvenile fish that are consumed within 5 weeks of invasions
