Do we know where these invasive ants come from?

@marine_stephan I don't know. But they could be running away from something.

This sounds absurd and is a great danger to our ecosystem, Kenya Wildlife Service must work around the clock to deal with the issue urgently. We must protect our ecosystem by all means possible.

@joseph_githinji people have so many ideas out there that if well funded could be used to ensure that the invasive ants go back to where they came from without harming any more nature.

The invasive ants have already changed the ecosystem and its very scary to realize that even the scientists are not sure of what could happen in future. An intervention measure needs to be introduced.

This is not right and effective measures must be taken by the relevant authorities to end this displacement of native ants by invasive species

The displacement of native ants by invasive species poses a threat to ecosystems, disrupting the delicate balance of local biodiversity. This, combined with elephants overgrazing and leaving trees bare in forests, further highlights the complex challenges facing ecosystems. The potential long-term impacts of invasive ants on local flora and fauna could have cascading effects on the ecosystem. It's crucial for the Kenya Wildlife Service to proactively address these issues, developing effective solutions to mitigate the ecological consequences and promote a resilient and balanced environment. Such efforts are essential in the broader fight against climate change, emphasizing the need for sustainable conservation practices to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem health.
