Introduced into Britain for sport and as an ornamental piece |
To prevent introduced species you have to learn how past introduced species have occured and
to predicte future routes of infestation. Sometimes introducing a predator or paracite of a newly introduced specie will
be effective but you must take care that the new pest will not grow in number. Political cultural and social concerns
must be taken into account because a certain group of people may like the new specie.
We think that many things should be taken in account of the dangers of introduced species.
They should check everyone and everything to make sure no non-native species make it into that specific region. They
should make this a legalized law. They should personally check each animal or plant life before it is transfers
to a different country. Also make sure no one trys to delibratly take in any new species.
There are many short term and long term affects if this problem of invasive species is not adressed. For
one these invaders are ruinning the life of many native animals and plants. The invasive species are killing off the native
species that other native species rely on. This means there will be less food for the native specie. Which in turn means the
food web wiil get smaller and alot of native species will starve and become extinct. Each time another specie dies off the
consumer that relied on that specific specie will have less food and wont grow in number. That is a long tem effect.
Also it might ruin a whole ecosystem. Some other affects would be that there is more competition for the native species
which could make that specie want to move.
Legislation acts have been passed on the topic of invasive species. Many acts have been passed on invasive
species. Some acts are National Aquatic Invasive Species Act of 2005,Asian Carp Prevention and Control Act,National Invasive
Species Council Act,Early Pest Detection and Surveillance Improvement Act,Great Lakes Invasive Species Control Act, and many
others. So many laws have been passed but we cant do alot to stop invasive species because it will happen one way or another.
No matter what species will always invade others homes and adapt themselves to the new place. Even with the laws we cant do
much to stop invasive species.
Humans are also considered introduced Species
