Invasive species are a huge threat to ecosystems because they can do intense damage, so much so that ecosystems may not be able to recover. They provide no added benefit or diversity to the ecosystem, and they are impossible to control once they are introduced and spread rapidly. Additionally, invasive species can replace native species, forcing their migration out of the area. This disruption in the balance of the ecosystem can have cascading effects on the entire environment.
