| Humans are unwittingly paving the way for a global invasion - by alien species! Increased travel and trade mean plants, animals, and even microscopic organisms hitch rides across continents. Some, like the Burmese pythons in the Everglades, flourish in their new homes, leaving a trail of ecological destruction. This explosion of invasive species is a major threat to biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and pushing native species towards extinction. From rats in ships' ballast water to ornamental plants escaping gardens, we're the ones introducing these invaders. But can we turn the tide? By controlling trade routes, implementing stricter biosecurity measures, and raising awareness, we can fight back against this unintended consequence of our interconnected world.
