Description: Invasive species management refers to the strategies and actions implemented to control or eliminate species that are not native to an ecosystem and that, when introduced, cause harm to biodiversity, the economy, and human health. These species can displace native ones, alter habitats, and affect the food chain. Effective management involves a combination of preventive, control, and ecosystem restoration methods. Techniques may include physical eradication, the use of biocontrol agents, regulation of new species introductions, and public education about the risks associated with invasive species. The importance of this management lies in the need to protect local ecosystems and maintain biodiversity, as well as in mitigating the economic impacts that these species can generate in agriculture, fishing, and tourism. Collaboration among governments, non-governmental organizations, and local communities is crucial for the success of these initiatives, as invasive species management is a global challenge that requires a coordinated and sustainable approach.
