WE CAN'T KEEP EVERYTHING ALIVE



In conservation not everything is keeping all the species save without any damage, sometimes for the safety of few one need too die or at least get reduced. An are invasive species, one of the single largest threats to our nation's natural resources, as a consequence these are the effects cause if we not reduce  the quantity of them:

- Decrease biodiversity
- Put endangered and threatened species at further risk. In fact, invasive species are the second leading cause of animal population decline and extinction worldwide
- Displace native plants that wildlife and fish depend on for food
- Increase soil erosion and can cause major damage to streams and other wetland areas that provide habitat for native fish, plants, and animals
- Increase the frequency and risk of wildfires
- Reduce agricultural production and property values.


Here in Aberdeen we (the conservation society) have been volunteering in an craft of invasive gorse at Scotstown, if we would let this plant continue growing, most of the other plants of this Natural Park would be there. Also, imaging the importance of this that, according to the rangers, right after the finish reducing this plants the have to start again because is already grown at the start point.
