So these are "invasive", but later in the article it says that The grasses — including guinea grass, molasses grass and buffelgrass — were brought to the islands from Africa...
So they were not invasive, they were brought to the islands to fill in areas of the agricultural plantations that were dying because of ???
So who brought them in and why did no one try to control them?
This is not a natural tragedy, this is a man-made disaster. Reminds me of the Mongoose population in Hawaii - there were too many rats, so the government brought in the mongoose to eat the rats. But rats are nocturnal and the mongoose is not (or vice-versa, I forget), so the mongoose ended up killing off most of the ground-dwelling birds.

Mandate two EVs for every driveway and garage in Hawaii.
Their Reps are huge proponents of Electric Vehicles. Fire Depts can’t even do anything about burning EVs. They watch them burn out over hours.
They could have come in over a century ago and just existed along the edges. It’s just that the unused fields of the last few decades gave them a free environment to take over.
One can’t just abandon agricultural land.
