a processor that when executing instructions stored in an associated memory is configured to:
receive, from an online data source, ecosystem data associated with an ecosystem of an environment;
analyze the ecosystem data;
detect a species in the environment based on the analysis;
cross-check the ecosystem data with a remote data source that is different than the online data source to identity a probability that the species is an invasive species and to determine whether additional ecosystem data is required;
in response to an identification that the species is invasive, identify a severity of an impact of the species on the environment;
identify a type of intervention based on the severity, wherein different severity levels are associated with a corresponding different type of intervention; and
notify a user of the species, the type and severity of the impact, and the type of intervention.

determine that the impact exceeds a threshold;
cause the system to generate a report about the impact of the species; and
submit the report to a user.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
develop a recommendation to remediate the impact at least one remediation recommendation; and
transmit the recommendation to the user.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein, when the processor cross-checks the ecosystem data, the processor is further configured to:
compare an amount of details of the ecosystem data to a threshold; and
collect additional ecosystem data when the amount of details is less than the threshold.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
automatically dispatch a data collector to collect the additional ecosystem data.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the data collector is a satellite.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein, when the processor is configured to analyze the ecosystem data, the processor is further configured to:
compare the ecosystem data ecosystem data against reference data in a database.
8. A method, comprising:
receiving, from an online data source, ecosystem data associated with an ecosystem of an environment;
analyzing the ecosystem data;
detecting a species in the environment based on the analyzing;
cross-checking the ecosystem data with a remote data source that is different than the online data source to identity a probability that the species is an invasive species and to determine whether additional ecosystem data is required;
in response to identifying that the species is invasive, identifying a type and a severity of an impact of the species on the environment;
identifying a type of intervention based on the severity, wherein different severity levels are associated with a corresponding different type of intervention; and
notifying a user of the species, the type and severity of the impact, and the type of intervention.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining that the impact exceeds a threshold;
generating a report about the impact of the species; and
submitting the report to a user.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
developing a recommendation to remediate the impact; and
transmitting the recommendation to the user.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the cross-checking the ecosystem data further comprises:
comparing an amount of details of the ecosystem data to a threshold; and
collecting additional ecosystem data when the amount of details is less than the threshold.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
dispatching a data collector to collect the additional ecosystem data.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the data collector is a satellite.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein, the analyzing the ecosystem data further comprises:
comparing the ecosystem data ecosystem data against reference data in a database.
15. A nontransitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:
