Rabbits running rampant: Australia overrun by invasive species

Australia is grappling with an invasive species that’s wreaking havoc on its environment and economy: rabbits. Originally brought in for hunting by British settlers, they exploded in population due to lack of natural predators, now numbering in the hundreds of millions. These rabbits are destroying farmland, vegetation, and infrastructure, causing significant economic losses for farmers. This invasive species highlights broader challenges in managing non-native species and underscores the need for effective, long-term solutions to protect native ecosystems.
