• Native To: Southeast Asia
• Introduced To: Asia, Central
America, South America
• How did they get there? Small
Indian mongooses were brought over
for pest control for rats and snakes.
• Why are they a problem? Small
Indian mongooses are aggressive
predators. They are blamed for the
decline of bar-winged rail (extinct),
Jamaica petrel (critically endangered
and possibly extinct), hawksbill
turtles (critically endangered), pink
pigeon (endangered), Amami rabbit
(endangered) and many other birds,
reptiles and mammals. Mongooses
also carry rabies and other human
diseases.
Native To: The Amazon basin and
waterways of Western Brazil, South
America
Introduced To: Africa, Asia, North
America, Australia and New Zealand.
How did they get there? Water hyacinth
was brought over as a decorative plant, for
animal food, as part of the aquarium
trade, by getting stuck on boats and
through the spreading of seeds.
Why are they a problem? Water hyacinth is
a fast growing water plant. They are
known as one of the world’s worst weed,
found in more than 50 countries. In the
right conditions, a small patch of water
hyacinth can double in size in just 6 days!
These plants are thick and dense, clogging
up rivers and making in nearly impossible
for animal life to move through them. They
block sunlight and oxygen from getting to
other plants below the water, causing the
ecosystem to change dramatically.
