Invasive Species Cost $137 Billion Dollars in 2019
“Invasive species are a global issue, but they impact local communities causing damage to their economy and environment daily.”
Dr. Mark Renz | Professor & Extension Specialist | University of Wisconsin at Madison
Invasive species include non-native insects, animals, invertebrates, aquatic organisms, diseases, and plants. Their hallmark is the ability to outcompete the native species within their new environment.
Although most people may not be aware of the expense of invasive species, they do cause a considerable expense to our country. In 2019 alone, the cost projections were roughly $137 billion.
February 24th – 28th is National Invasive Species Week (NISAW)
Every year, the efforts this week focus on awareness of the persistent battle against invasive species’ damages. Word is getting out there:
- Consumers are getting more savvy about the impact of invasive species.
- Most insurance companies look for beneficial programs that help reduce liability costs.
