An animal that is not native to a specific area is termed an "invasive species." Invasive species are organisms that are introduced to ecosystems where they do not naturally occur, often causing harm to the environment, economy, or human health. They can outcompete native species for resources, disrupt food webs, and alter habitats. The impact of invasive species is significant, prompting conservation efforts to control or eradicate them in order to protect native biodiversity and maintain ecological balance. Public awareness and management strategies are essential in reducing their spread.
