Though originally there was not it in Japan, the naturalized species is a creature intentionally or non-intentionally brought into Japan from the foreign countries by human activity. I am called originally as for the creature which there is in Japan native species. It is brought in by an airplane and a ship by the foreign country, and a creature colonizes as a naturalized species and originally affects the creature which there was in Japan. I am said to be the number of naturalized species existing in the outdoors of Japan exceeds 2,000 kinds just to become clear. The activity by various human beings adversely affects Japanese natural environments, and it is a naturalized species that become the problem particularly very much. |
