Invasive species pose significant dangers, including harming native biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems, and causing economic damage.  They can outcompete native species for resources and often lack natural predators in their new environments, leading to unchecked population growth.  For example, invasive species can lead to the extinction of native species by preying on them or competing for food and habitat. Additionally, the economic cost of invasive species is substantial, with estimates reaching billions annually.
