invasive species definition by law
Is the Burmese python an invasive species?
No. We have it on presidential authority that the Burmese
python in Florida is not an invasive species. They
can be correctly identified as an “exotic species,” or an
“established exotic,” a “non-native species,” or even an
“alien species.” They are not by legal definition an invasive
species.
Presidential Order 13112, signed into law by President
Bill Clinton on February 3, 1999, and titled Invasive
Species, provides the following definition :
“invasive species means an alien species whose introduction
does or is likely to cause economic or environmental
harm, or harm to human health.”
