The most creative approach to controlling invasive

species in the video is demonstrated by dogs that have

been trained to detect exotic plants. This is a really smart
idea that makes good use of the strong sense of smell that
dogs have. It's innovative and efficient. Natural control
strategies also draw interest. introducing carriers or
predators from the native range of an invasive species to
control population growth? Quite clever. This approach
mimics the way these bothersome invaders are driven
back to their source by relying on nature's own systems of
checks and balances.

Biocontrol strategies come with possible pitfalls. A big

worry? Unintended consequences from using biocontrol
agents. Introducing new species to ecosystems can spark
unforeseen issues. Sometimes the newcomer causes
trouble on its own. Other times it hurts species it wasn't
meant to target. This highlights why thorough study and
watchful eyes matter so much. We need to make sure
these methods help more than they hurt. Trained dogs do
a better job sure. But they also eat up more resources.

Video suggests that invasive species are not a threat to

biodiversity and ecosystem integrity, which puts Earth’s
plants, wildlife, and people at risk. As an organization
dedicated to preventing extinctions, Island Conservation
urges journalists, editors, and communicators of all kinds
to clarify these terms. Spreading awareness about the
difference between non-native and invasive species is an
important stride forward in the race against extinction.
