The number of invasive animal species in US national parks has put the protected lands under a 'deep and immediate threat,' says a new study
Millions visit US National Parks each year, many hoping to catch glimpses of animals including bison, mountain goats and alligators.
The group studied how big the threat of invasive species is to the nation's parks. Of the 1,409 reported populations of invasive species in National Parks, the report says, only 11% are under control. Instead, it says there needs to be a system-wide approach that involves everybody from National Park Service leadership down to their staff and visitors.
Introducing non-native species has been banned in National Parks since 1968, but animals still make their way into the protected lands from the surrounding area. To prevent this, the report recommends working with neighboring landowners and communities. The report suggests that the Park Service incorporate education about invasive species into their public outreach and involve public groups in discussions about invasive species management.
