A recent study in *Earth* highlights ecological shifts in Assam's Dibru-Saikhowa National Park, the sole habitat for India's feral horses. Researchers found that native plants Bombax ceiba and Lagerstroemia speciosa are worsening the impact of invasive species like Chromolaena odorata and Ageratum conyzoides.

These changes are primarily driven by persistent flooding from the Brahmaputra River and rising human activities from nearby forest villages. The findings raise concerns about the parkás biodiversity and the future of its unique ecosystems.
