An invasive species is an organism that survives outside of their natural range because of human activity
 **REASONS INVASIVE SPECIES ARE SO SUCCESSFUL**:

=
1. Ecological Impacts: Invasive species displace native species, alter the food webs within the ecosystem, and alter natural cycles such as the water, nitrogen, and carbon cycles. ======

=
2. Genetic Pollution; This type of pollution leads to the replacement of local genotypes and can bring about the extinction of local species. This hybridization can be big trouble for small ecosystems. ======

3. Economic Impacts: Invasive species have cost millions of dollar to industries, farmers, and local governments that are trying to stop or slow the spread of them. They have damaged factories, farmlands, forests, and the recreation industry. ======
