Invasive Species

Invasive species refer to organisms that have been introduced to an environment from outside its natural range, where they can cause environmental or economic harm. Invasive species can damage native ecosystems by competing for food and space, and can also cause the extinction of native species. These species can also disrupt economic activities, such as agriculture and aquaculture, by damaging or impeding crop production and fishing. Understanding of how these species spread, their impacts, and how they can be controlled is essential in order to manage their effects on the environment and economy.
