A major cause of biodiversity loss and species extinction in North Caroline is due to the introduction of invasive non-native species in the ecosystem. Many invasive species come for the similar climatic conditions where they can thrive, but most arrive by human transport on accident or on purpose. Some examples include: Bradford pears, Japanese honeysuckle, Asian carp, and brown tree snake.
