The existing species can be overrun by more dominant new species. These and other potential effects on environment are also considered during the licensing procedure.
GM crops could lead to erosion of biodiversity and pollute gene pools of endangered plant species. Gene flow due to cross pollination for the traits involving resistance can result in development of tolerant or resistant weeds that are difficult to eradicate. Segregation of GMOs and non-GMOs has failed (with a tolerance of 0.9% GM contamination in so-called non-GM canola). GM also contaminating neighboring farms and has a negative impact on insects and other species with reduction in other plant types, leading to a loss of biodiversity.

@ Pooran, actually crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. Although it has been noticed that the use of some GM crops can have negative impacts on non-target organisms and on soil and water ecosystems. For example, the expansion of GM herbicide-tolerant corn and soy, which are twinned with herbicides, has destroyed much of the habitat of the monarch butterfly in North America.
As far as I know there is no one scientific research shows negative impact of any GM organism on environment. You may read only "possibly" or "we are afraid of", that is "theoretically"
The effects of genetically modified (GM) crops on the environment can include reduced pesticide use, increased biodiversity, altered weed management practices, potential for gene flow to wild relatives, and concerns about the development of resistance in pests and weeds. It is important to assess the specific traits and farming practices associated with each GM crop to determine its environmental impact.
