Invasive. (Whitehead, J. (2008) Priorities for Control: A Risk Assessment of Introduced Species on the Falkland Islands. South Atlantic Invasive Species Project ; Department of Agriculture, 2019. Biosecurity Workshops Report. Department of Agriculture); They are a problem for farmers as they graze forage and re-seeded crops. Newly planted tussac grass has to be protected from hares when first planted because of grazing (B. Summers, pers. comm.). There is an economic cost to both these grazing problems. Hares are also likely to cause Biodiversity impacts on native tussac and grassland, but the extent of this problem is unknown. (Whitehead, J.
