I've listed this article for peer review because I wish for it to achieve Featured List status. I am welcome for improvements to it. I am also unsure of whether to change the title to "List of invasive species in the United Arab Emirates". I would like advice on whether I should do it or not; the list also does not cover every single invasive species, just the more notable ones discussed in a variety of sources. I hope that is fine.

Thanks, jolielover♥talk 13:41, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
