If you see an organism that is wrecking havoc yet is endangered, what would you do? Will you either let the organism live or kill it? In my opinion, I believe that we should kill species that have invaded a certain environment where they weren’t there in the first place. One reason is that invasive species cause untold amounts of damage to the environment that they conquer. Another reason is that we caused the problem, so naturally we should fix the problem. Finally, a unnatural solution should require an artificial solution. Now, I would like to dicuss how invasive species can cause destruction in enviroments that should not be suitable for them.
One such case is when there were boa constrictors in the Florida Everglades. According to Phil …show more content…
The honeysuckle plant has managed to create a benefical relationship with its new environment rather than destroying it. How this relationship works is that “the honeysuckle provides food for the birds, and the birds via feces disperse the honeysuckle seeds, helping it to spread.” (Staff). If people do try to remove the honeysuckle from the birds’ environment, those actions could harm many species of native birds that now seem to rely on honeysuckle as a major food source. Even though this is one case of invasive species being benefical towards their environment, invasive species are still a problem such as the Burmese pythons in the everglades and the red eyed sliders in …show more content…
Whether the predicaments are due to natural circumstances or the result of human action, we have to do something about it. Once an invasive species spreads in a certain environment, it gets difficult to eradicate that species from that certain environment. Some methods of getting rid of invasive species involve “Create effective mechanisms to prevent their introduction in the first place, Create monitoring systems for detecting new infestations and move rapidly to eradicate newly detected invaders.”
