Invasive Species List, an invasive species refers to a non-native organism that is introduced into an ecosystem and causes harm to the native species and their habitats. The invasive species list includes various plants, animals, and microorganisms that have been introduced to different regions around the world. Some notable examples of invasive species include the Asian carp in North America, the cane toad in Australia, the zebra mussel in the Great Lakes, and the kudzu plant in the United States.
These invasive species often outcompete native species for resources, disrupt ecological balance, and can have detrimental effects on biodiversity, agriculture, and human activities. Efforts are made to monitor and manage invasive species to minimize their impacts on ecosystems.
Invasive Species List
The following are lists of invasive species categorized by country or region. An invasive species is defined as a species that has been introduced by human activity to a location where it is not native, can establish a self-sustaining population without human intervention, and poses a threat to agriculture and/or local biodiversity. These species have the potential to disrupt ecosystems and cause harm to native flora and fauna. Efforts are made to monitor and control the spread of invasive species to mitigate their negative impacts on the environment and economy. It is important to raise awareness about invasive species and implement measures to prevent their introduction and spread.
