Invasive species are a major threat to a range of species. Weeds can reduce species habitat and feral animals such as foxes, cats and feral pigs prey on a range of our native species. The following factsheets describe a number of threatened species and the impacts that invasives are having, also in the factsheet are details of how you can help to minimise the impact of invasive species.
