Answer 1

Answer:

INVASIVE species

Explanation:

In biology, an organism is said to be INVASIVE if the organism is foreign to a particular region or habitat and possess the unpleasant ability to proliferate or grow rapidly to the point of competing with local species of organisms.

According to this question, humans are said to introduce organisms that have the ability to harm the local flora and fauna. Hence, these organisms are INVASIVE SPECIES because they are foreign to that place and cause damage in their new environment.
