One of the most significant invasive species threatening the Niger River is the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). This fast-growing aquatic plant can choke waterways, disrupt local ecosystems, and hinder navigation and fishing activities. Additionally, the introduction of the Nile perch (Lates niloticus) has impacted native fish populations and altered the river's ecological balance. These invasives pose challenges to biodiversity and local livelihoods dependent on the river's resources.
