The Pros And Cons Of Invasive Species

Have you ever thought about the good invasive species? Well there are many good invasive species. Invasive species have helped us out of problems before many times. Like the Aldabra tortoises helped ebony trees grow again before they became instinct. Also getting rid of invasive species would cost more tax money than keeping it.

According to, “Invasive Plants Sometimes Offer Help Instead of Harm.” it states, “ destroying invasive species can eat up tax dollars, and is often ineffective in the long run, Carlo said. The invaders tend to just keep growing back” (Live Science Staff). This proves that either way the plants or animals are going to grow or come back because they are now

Furthermore, in the article, “ !0 Invasive Species That Helped The Ecosystems They Inhabit.” it states. “ The non native tortoises are eating the fruit produced by the ebony trees and dispersing their seed all over the island.Over a decade after the Aldabra tortoises were introduced researchers are nothing that the endangered ebony forests are beginning to recover” (J. Francis Wolfe). This shows and proves that the invasive species Aldabra tortoises are helping grow back the ebony trees.

Overall the Aldabra tortoises are very helpful in the place they are
