Invasive Species
Main Content
Invasive species are nonnative species, often introduced by humans, either intentionally or by accident. They compete with native wildlife for resources, alter wildlife habitat, and threaten biological diversity. Due to the lack of predators and biological controls, they tend to spread quickly, overtaking native species and their habitats.
