Data package containing information and the results of our expert-based stakeholder mapping exercise for six invasive non-native species case studies in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, 2021. These six case studies included invasive grasses (Urochloa spp.) in Brazil, glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) in Argentina, lodgepole (Pinus contorta) and Montery pines (Pinus radiata) in Argentina, American mink (Neogale vison) in Argentina and Chile, lodgepole (Pinus contorta) and Montery pines (Pinus radiata) in Chile, and German yellow-jacket (Vespula germanica) in Chile. The datasets included are: (i) a list of all the stakeholders identified, their characteristics, interest in invasive non-native species (INNS) and their management, and the positive and negative ecological, economic, and social impacts of INNS experienced by the stakeholders; (ii) an example of a stakeholder spreadsheet used to collect information during our activities; (iii) a list of consensus strategies for engaging stakeholders identified by the participants; and (iv) two examples of stakeholder engagement strategies.
