This document discusses invasive species and their impacts. It defines invasive species as nonnative plants and animals that harm native species. Some examples of invasive animal species in Florida mentioned are wild hogs, starlings, Burmese pythons, and iguanas. Invasive plant species mentioned include air potato, cogon grass, coral ardisia, and camphor tree. Invasive species are introduced both deliberately and accidentally, and then spread by various means. They cause damage by competing with and preying on native species, eliminating biodiversity, and disrupting ecosystems. Solutions proposed for invasive plants include manually removing them and replacing them with native species.
Session is part of a forum exploring how invasive species impact the environment, what policy solutions are needed to prevent new invaders, and how science-based stewardship can be used for targeted management.

Trade transport and invasion of alien speciesAmrita Daripa
The ppt is about invasive alien species and how it is being invaded and displacing the native species. The mode of its transport from one place to the other. Its international and national quarantine measures.
IAS are the second important aspect which causes biodiversity loss next to Habitat destruction. This PPT describes the impact of IAS mainly in aquatic ecosystem...
Protected & Endangered species of plant ppt by G.S.ShaktawatG.S Shaktawat
The earth contains a huge number of different plants/animal species and there are many species that are endangered and should be protected. In this presentation, I had tried to include different plant species that are endangered with the laws, locations, cause & protection ideas. So, plz have a look at this.
