The Impact of Invasive Species
Invasive species, like the Burmese python in the Everglades National Park, disrupt ecosystems by outcompeting native species. These invaders can lead to imbalances, reducing populations of essential animals like rabbits and raccoons, affecting plant dispersal, and causing environmental damage. The presence of invasive species, driven by human activities like releasing pets, can be challenging to control and can profoundly impact native ecosystems.
