Invasive= an organism (plant, animal, fungus, or bacterium) that is not native and has negative effects on our economy, our environment, or our health.
Not all introduced species are invasive.
Invasive plants and animals are the second greatest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss
Non-native= an organism that is from another continent, country, or area of the world
