What are the Sonoran Desert region Invaders?
One of the biggest threats to our desert ecosystem is invasive grasses like buffelgrass that carry deadly fires. And in our precious streams, lakes and marshes, native fish and amphibians are threatened by invasive species like sunfish and bullfrogs that eat them. Other invaders, like red imported fire ants and cactus moths, are poised to arrive. To find out more about our top invaders and see how the Desert Museum is working with everyday people and other organizations to control the spread of invasive species, check out www.desertmuseum.org/invaders online.
