The primary challenge of managing invasive species is their potential to disrupt local ecosystems and outcompete native species. Invasive species can alter habitat structures, change nutrient cycling, and introduce diseases, leading to declines in native biodiversity. Effective management requires understanding the ecological dynamics of both the invasive and native species, as well as preventing their spread. Policies may involve monitoring, control measures, and public education to reduce human activities that contribute to the introduction of invasive species. Addressing this challenge is critical for preserving ecosystem integrity.
