Invasive Species
Invasive species, a pressing ecological concern, pose significant threats to native biodiversity and ecosystems worldwide. These non-native organisms, introduced deliberately or inadvertently by human activities, disrupt ecological balances and outcompete indigenous species for resources. Their unchecked proliferation often leads to habitat degradation, loss of native species, and economic impacts. Understanding their mechanisms of spread, ecological impacts, and management strategies is paramount for mitigating their harmful effects and safeguarding ecosystems' health and resilience. Invasive species management necessitates interdisciplinary approaches involving biology, ecology, policy, and public awareness to effectively combat their proliferation and minimize ecological disruptions.
