Biological control means to control an organism using another living organism. A species of an animal is controlled by using a living organism to reduce the population. Before any species is reduced from a population, scientists must ensure that they are aware of all the possible ramifications that affect the ecosystem.
The problem with rabbits is that these pests cause damage to agricultural crops and result in detrimental effects on biodiversity. In 1950, rabbit numbers in Australia reached 600 million. Rabbits can threaten native species through competition for resources and by causing habitat degradation. They also contributed to soil erosion and disturbance which destabilized the land, potentially leading to livestock deterioration.
