Invasive species are a major threat to the United States; mostly Florida. These species are the worst ones we have in Florida.“We are ground zero for the impacts of invasive species‚” says Doria Gordon‚ the director of conservation science for the Florida chapter of the Nature Conservancy (TNC) . “And our invaders are very good at finding new habitats.” Usually those habitats are around South Florida in the everglades. The mix of suburbs and wilderness around the area of the everglades‚ makes the
