As a society, it is often a common fear that extraterrestrial beings will invade and take over planet Earth. Although seemingly far-fetched, this idea of invasion does occur today, but on a much less science fiction level. Animal and plant species from other environments threaten the existence of neighboring species every day when they invade. Whether real or imaginary, invasive species need to be taken seriously so as to address all of the possible areas subject to harm. Businesses and government agencies must consider how moving a nonindigenous species will affect mankind, the economy, and the environment in order to prevent catastrophic disasters from occurring.

Invasive species target all sorts of wildlife when they are introduced into a new environment, and perhaps their impact on plant life is the most impacting. Looking at the horrific photograph of a barren forest, truly demonstrates the stress businesses and government agencies must put onto the transferring of an invasive species (Photo). This dark picture stimulates inside the viewer, a once lush forest, but on the outside depicts the harsh reality of a nonindigenous species coming in and wreaking havoc. Due to the introduction of a nonindigenous species, the forest of balsam fir trees was completely decimated, and the environment suffered greatly because an entire habitat and resource supply was destroyed as well. Nonindigenous species also can bring native plants into extinction if they invade their habitat (Invasive). Each landscape on the world is unique, and its character and individuality is credited to the unique wildlife special to that place, so when invasive species destroy that, the magic is lost. Not only do native plants bring individuality to an area, but they are important to the animals living within that habitat because they have adapted to survive off of what the native plants provided. Finally, before a government or business agency transfers a nonindigenous species, they must consider the environment because they can ruin the animal wildlife. Within his article, Jenkins discussed multiple ideals on the subject matter of invasive species, in particular, endangered species (Jenkins). Throughout this article, Jenkins stressed the importance of reducing the contamination of invasive species because they overpower original species in a habitat and can lead them to extinction.
