Invasive Species Impacts to National Wildlife Refuges
Invasive non-native plants and animals in the United States now number at least 6,300, with new invasions occurring on a weekly basis. A growing global economy, new transportation routes, and quicker transit times have all led to a proliferation of invasive species. As these invasive species spread, there remains little question that they represent one of the most insidious and challenging resource problems facing Federal, State, and Tribal governments, and the private sector.

Restoration of Native Habitats - USFWS
For aquatic and terrestrial habitats, restoration of native plant and animal communities is an important part of the invasive species control solution. In many cases, native species have been extirpated from areas invested by invasive species and in order to return the balance of the ecosystem, restoration projects are conducted following removal of the exotic invasive species.
