-The government could create a pest control system specifically for boa constrictors. It could be a number to call to allow for professionals to come and correctly capture and release the animals to be able to get them into their natural habitat. If that is not possible, or if it is too expensive, euthanasia is an option for these invasive animals.

Make People Aware
-The media and other outlets can make an effort to make people aware of the issue of invasive species. By doing this, people will know what to look for, how to appropriately approach the invasive species, and what to do when they encounter one. This will allow for early-detection which will help eradicate the situation.

Education in School
-Many students in college take some sort of environmental science class. If that curriculum called for education about the invasive species in there state, it would allow for more awareness and education.]]> 2022-05-19 00:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bakkarsr25/pu8cwucm7jovpglo/wish/2190369219 bakkarsr25 https://padlet.com/bakkarsr25/pu8cwucm7jovpglo/wish/2191673157 https://nationalzoo.si.edu/

This would be the best because it could create more jobs, help the problem by capture and euthanizing the boas, and allow the citizens to get more involved. To make this work we would definitely need help and permission from government officials because they would be the ones to fund the operation. The pest control could also keep a tally of the reported and captured boas, so if the population goes up or down they will know if the pest control has been successful.  ]]> 2022-05-19 18:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bakkarsr25/pu8cwucm7jovpglo/wish/2191819738 bakkarsr25 https://padlet.com/bakkarsr25/pu8cwucm7jovpglo/wish/2191839860 2022-05-19 18:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bakkarsr25/pu8cwucm7jovpglo/wish/2191839860
