**7. Effects of** *P. juliflora* **on the habitat of wild animal**

In Afar region, wild animals were endangered due to the disruption of ecosystem integrity. These habitats that harbor threatened plant species also harbored many globally threatened and vulnerable mammal and bird species [88]. It reduced the diversity of birds under the thickets of *P. juliflora* than adjutant non-invaded habitats [43]. But, the invasion of species caused for the loss of agricultural crops adjacent its thicket. This is probability the habitat harbor wild animals to hide in the thicket affected production of crops.
