A recent study published in the journal Science reveals that invasive species inflict more significant damage on ecosystems in low- and middle-income countries, particularly those in the Global South. These regions experience greater ecological and economic harm compared to wealthier nations. The findings underscore the disproportionate challenges faced by these countries in managing invasive species and protecting biodiversity.

This research brings attention to the need for targeted support and resources to address invasive species impacts in vulnerable regions.
