From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Invasive species are widespread non-indigenous species. It can be damaging to the local ecosystem as invasive species compete resources with local species. Most of the time the non-native species cannot survive in the new environment and died out. However, there is a chance that they managed to survive and no natural predator in the new environment. This can wipe out local species as the population of the invasive species increases, thus affecting biodiversity.
