The Forest Service works with partners at all levels to respond to and manage invasive species, as well as other native pests and diseases, that threaten the lands and waters of the United States. President Clinton signed the Invasive Species Executive Order (E.O. Regulators have instead developed risk-assessment protocols and banned or quarantined imports of some trees and woody plants known to harbor dangerous pests. An invasive species is both non-native to the ecosystem in which it is found and capable of causing environmental, economic, or human harm because of its ability to spread rapidly and compete with native species. Environmental groups, business leaders, and government officials are concerned about the harm done by this invasive species.Officials at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, in the U.S. state of Maryland, worked with hunters to eradicate the 8,500 nutria in the refuge. As of 2015, the Council is working with 161 (90 percent) of landowners along 50 miles of the river. Our extensive network of research facilities and programs, coupled with an array of invasive species management professionals and experts, are helping to develop innovative techniques, approaches, tools, and technologies. The Pacific Temperate Rainforest in British Columbia is home to endangered species such as the Roosevelt elk, marbled murrelet, and the northern goshawk. Most temperate deciduous forests have three levels of plants. Many of these species are introduced unintentionally by people, escaping detection until it is too late to control their prolific expansion and devastating effects. Covering . Hunters waded into specific areas of the marsh during specific times of the year. People often introduce the plant, which grows in the water, because of its pretty flowers. Bullfrogs compete with, and prey on, a wide range of native species, and may affect significantly native . Invasive species, like wildfires, ignore ownership boundaries and spread from property to property, underscoring the need to treat invasions wherever they occur on the landscape. Columbus and other European explorers brought smallpox, measles and other viruses to the New World starting in the 15th century, and viruses have been leaping oceans ever since. /*-->
