Invasive Species

Invasive species are non-native plants, animals, and other organisms that are introduced to an area by humans. Once established, they can spread rapidly and cause damage to native ecosystems. Invasive species can out-compete native species for resources, alter the environment, and disrupt essential functions such as water and nutrient cycles. They can also cause economic damage by reducing crop yields, degrading water quality, and causing other harm to natural resources. Invasive species management is an important part of environmental conservation and is key to protecting native species and preventing further damage to our environment.
