If a non-native species is introduced into an ecosystem and it competes for the same ecological niche as a native species, what
could be the outcome? The Hawaiian Islands are home to many endangered species. Why do you think the Hawaii Department of Agriculture is so strict about allowing non-native species onto the islands?
The invasive species are the species who are present in a non native ecosystem. The invasion of These species disturbs the environment of particular system by increasing the competition or destroying the vital component of the ecosystem.
The invasive species can increase the competition in the native species, which would lead to the decrease in the number of the native species. There are many species present in the Hawaii department of the agriculture that are endangered, the competition cannot be tolerated here, as it can lead to the extinction of the endangered species present. So, in order to reduce the chance of the extinction due to competition, Hawaii department of Agriculture is very strict about the prevention of the non native or invasive species.
<span>If non native species compete for the same resources the native species could die out. The Hawaii Department of agriculture is so strict about introducing non native species because these invasive species could cause the endangered native species to go extinct.</span>
