A report quoting a recent study that the tiger population in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu is facing threat because of the rapid growth of the lantana plant has brought to the fore the havoc this invasive species is causing to the biodiversity across the tropical and sub tropical regions of our country. The tiger population, the report warned, will dwindle drastically within the next five years, unless the plant is removed from the forest. Lantana spreads very fast and does not allow anything else, including grass or other plant or shrub, grow in the area leading to the migration or decline in the number of herbivores. This can lead to starvation of tigers, leopards and other carnivores at the top of the food chain.
