Wild sheep brought to island decades ago now threaten ecosystem
Original: especie invasora
A wild sheep species introduced to an island for hunting more than forty years ago has become an invasive threat to the local ecosystem, according to La Nación. The animals, brought in deliberately so they could be hunted, have since multiplied and are now damaging the island's environment, prompting renewed debate in Argentina about invasive species and the unintended consequences of introducing wildlife to new habitats.
Why now: The story of a hunting introduction turning into an ecological threat has resurfaced in searches in Spain and is drawing attention to invasive species problems.
