What is biodiversity and why it is important?

# data[].attributes.body

Controlling Invasive Species Three main
methods, or technologies, are used to control
invasive species:

mechanical controls--the use of physical
means, such as fences, barriers, weeding,
and trapping.

chemical controls--the use of chemicals.
such as herbicides and pesticides.

biological controls--the use of other
species to combat an invasive species.

Habitat destruction involves
cutting down forests, draining
wetlands, or generally changing
a habitat so much that it is no
longer usable by the organisms
that live there. The photo to the
