Ponds are under threat from ?
Exotic Species.
There’s no need to introduce wildlife to the pond yourself—in fact, this is not recommended because it carries the risk of bringing in diseased or invasive plants.
It is estimated that one in 10 ponds contain an invasive plant species. These are non-native species that were intended to be used in ornamental garden ponds. However, because many of these plants have no natural predators in the UK, they often spread rapidly and take root in the wild countryside.
Once an invading plant has taken root in the wild, it can choke out the native and rare species that birds, insects, and aquatic creatures use as a food source, with serious consequences for the biodiversity of the area. Non-native plant species are often immune to disease, and in the mild British climate they do not die back extensively during the winter.
It is an offence to intentionally keep or cultivate certain non-native plant species in the UK. There’s a lot of information available about how to identify an invasive species, and what to do if you spot one in your garden or in the countryside.
