ACTIVITY 3 Write your opinion about the audio you heard. (150 words)

The large number of invasive species in the soils of the united states has become a big
problem because these species are competing with the local ones in order to obtain the
nutrients and likewise the animals that depended on these plants are being affected as
the butterfly that was mentioned, this depends on the pollen of the flowers but since the
invasive plants have become a problem this fauna is being severely affected.
These invasive species were introduced for the purpose of being used as food, but over
time they expanded, as they became a constant danger for native species, which becomes
a very big problem since many species of plants or animals are losing the balance in which
they.lived.
If these species could be eliminated in any way, the environment of the native species
would return to normal over time, but the invasive species have achieved a total
imbalance in the environment.
