    • Conservationists and wildlife managers
    • Competition is a driving force in nature, with species vying for resources, territory, and mates. This process shapes the evolution of species, favoring those best adapted to their environments. However, when competition becomes too intense, it can lead to exclusion. This occurs when one species outcompetes others, limiting their access to resources and forcing them to adapt or perish.

    • Policy-makers and researchers
    • Competition in the wild is a natural phenomenon, driving evolution and shaping ecosystems. However, as human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change alter the balance of nature, competition can escalate into exclusion. This shift has significant implications for species survival and ecosystem resilience. In the US, the effects of competition-turned-exclusion are evident in dwindling populations, habitat fragmentation, and the loss of biodiversity.

      A Growing Concern in the US

    • Overemphasis on competition as a driver of extinction, potentially distracting from other critical factors
