They Are Here! How Invasive Species Are Spoiling Our Ecosystems

by Roland Smith Author

This explores the unintended consequences of human migration on the natural world, focusing on the introduction of invasive species. It delves into the stories of various plants and animals that were either deliberately or accidentally introduced to new environments, often with harmful effects. Examples include sparrows brought to the U.S. in the 1850s and the release of exotic pets into the Florida Everglades, leading to an overpopulation of Burmese pythons and examines the ecological impact of these invasions and highlights the steps we can take to protect local ecosystems.
