Alien species are organisms that have been introduced from another ecosystem, either intentionally or unintentionally. These species can have a significant impact on native ecosystems, often disrupting the balance of an ecosystem’s local biodiversity and leading to altered food chains, increased competition for resources, and reduced species diversity. Alien species can also act as reservoirs for diseases and parasites, or as vectors for their transmission, negatively impacting native species. As a result, controlling and eradicating alien species is an important part of conservation efforts in many ecosystems.
