Environmental Politics Biodiversity Conservation Questions
The concept of invasive species in biodiversity conservation refers to non-native species that are introduced into an ecosystem and have negative impacts on the native species and their habitats. These invasive species often outcompete native species for resources, disrupt ecological processes, and can lead to the decline or extinction of native species. Invasive species can be introduced intentionally or unintentionally by human activities such as trade, transportation, and agriculture. Biodiversity conservation efforts aim to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species, as well as to manage and control their populations to protect native ecosystems and species diversity.
