Understanding interactions between non-native and native species is essential for managing biodiversity and ecosystem health. Non-native species can outcompete, prey on, or introduce diseases to native populations, often leading to declines or even extinctions. These interactions can alter ecosystem dynamics and disrupt food webs. Recognizing these impacts is crucial in conservation efforts, as strategies may involve controlling or eradicating harmful non-native species. Enlightening stakeholders about these interactions fosters better integration of invasive species management into broader environmental policies, ultimately promoting the sustainability of native biodiversity.
