Focusing on Stability
In addition to the major cleanup effort, the navy plans to use a large portion of the $50 million to replace non-native trees and plants with native species, helping to restore the ecosystem.
Schneider said, “Our goal is to get rid of all kinds of harmful organisms, which are not native to the country and then protect all the species in the country. The problem is that if you removed all the non-native species, this would be an empty space because there are so many of them.
