Weeding Out Invasive Plant Critical For Survival Of Protected Species And Fishermen  Weeding Out Invasive Plant Critical For Survival Of Protected Species And Fishermen  Comments Off on Weeding Out Invasive Plant Critical For Survival Of Protected Species And Fishermen  YAOUNDE, Cameroon- A fishing community in Cameroon is racing against time to save Lake Ossa, one of the country’s largest, from a floating fern that thrives in slow-moving, nutrient-rich warm freshwater. The invasive plant Salvinia molesta has already covered 40 percent of the lake’s 9,884-acre (4,000-hectare) surface, according to the African Marine Mammal Conservation Organization in Cameroon. The plant is degrading the habitat of rare, protected wildlife, including the African manatee, which is listed as “vulnerable” on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
