Description
The Forest Department of Tamil Nadu has cleared 356.50 hectares of invasive Senna spectabilis that was threatening biodiversity conservation in the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve.
Regarding Senna Spectabilis
It is part of the legume family. It is native to South and Central America and is cultivated as an ornamental plant due to its bright yellow flowers.
It was introduced into the country as shade trees for coffee and firewood, but it quickly became a threat to native tree species because its dense foliage inhibited the growth of other indigenous trees and grass species.It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
