Aliens establish populations at more new areas at an ever-increasing pace.The researchers discovered that lower than ten percent of protected areas have the
40、 894 surveyed invasive species within them, which suggests that, in general, protected areas are effectively shielded against invasion. However, all of them are still at risk from IAS, because at least one alien species was found within 100 kilometers of 99% of the surveyed protected areas boundarie
41、s.The research team also discovered that protected regions that contain more invasive animal species experience a more significant influence or presence of humans, otherwise known as the human footprint index.

The older protected areas are usually in more remote locations, which provide them with better protection from human impacts.Dr. Li who is a famous biologist said that for now, the ma
