*******************************
The Group of Seven (G7) countries are addressing the challenge of invasive alien species. These are plants or animals that end up in places they’re not native to, causing harm to local ecosystems. The G7 plans to share data and collaborate with businesses to control these species. The issue is growing with increased global movement and trade. The target is to reduce this problem by half by 2030, with Japan leading the effort.

In Japan, one of the dangerous invasive species is the fire ant. These ants can hurt people and animals with their sting and disrupt local wildlife and ecosystems. Japan’s focus on controlling these ants and other invasive species is a key part of their environmental protection efforts.
