There are many ways in which the introduction of non-native or exotic species negatively affects our environment and the diversity of life on our planet. The statistics are startling and more attention must be paid to the problem and devising a solution before the cost is more than we can bear.
Invasive species cause more damage than some pollutants.
Almost half of the native species in America are endangered because of invasive species.
Compared to other threats to biodiversity, invasive introduced species rank second only to habitat destruction, such as forest clearing.
Of all 1,880 imperiled species in the United States, 49% are endangered because of introduced species alone or because of their impact combined with other forces.

exotic species will compete with the natural species present in that area for food and the accommodation in turn the food giving species is extinct more rapidly or the competitors for food will be effected
