To explain:
Why it is not a good idea to release exotic pets into a local ecosystem.
Introduction:
Biodiversity is known as the variety of life in a location which is determined by the number of various species in that location. But, many species lost their habitat due to some factors. These factors may effects the biodiversity. There are several ways that species can lose their habitats. Some factors of species extinction are - overexploitation, disruption of habitat, destruction of habitat, fragmentation, pollution, acid precipitation, eutrophication, etc.
Explanation of Solution
Exotic pets do not survive into a local ecosystem. They have to compete for food with other animals. They are introduced species. Non local species that are either nonintentionally or intentionally transported to a new habitat are called introduced species. These species are a threat to biodiversity in their native habitats. Predators,
Thus, releasing exotic pets into a local ecosystem is not a good idea. They will compete with the native species for habitat and food, prey on them, or may introduce diseases that not generally found in that area.
