Invasive plant Pampas grass is one of the most dangerous and is found in more than 200 municipalities

The cortadeira is considered one of the most dangerous invasive plants in Brazil and is present in more than 200 municipalities in the country. The species ranks among the ten invasive plants with the widest distribution in the national territory. The plant represents a significant threat to the local environment, competing with native vegetation and altering ecosystems where it establishes itself. The wide dispersal of the cortadeira raises concerns about ongoing ecological impacts in the affected areas.
