Invasive species threaten biodiversity, causing 60% of recorded extinctions through competition and disruption.
Invasive species impact biodiversity
Invasive species are non-native organisms introduced to an ecosystem by human activity, often causing harm to the local environment.Extinction risk from invasive species
These species are linked to 60% of recorded species extinctions, highlighting their significant role in biodiversity loss.Ecological disruption by invasive species
Invasive species can disrupt ecosystems by preying on native species, competing for food, or interbreeding with local wildlife.Human role in invasive species spread
Humans are primarily responsible for introducing these species to new environments, often unintentionally through trade or travel.
