What is an "Invasive Species"?
I'm mixed up. What exactly is an invasive species? What difference does it make what plants grow or what insects or animals live in which areas of the "wild", or how they got there? Why do some people think they are in charge where plants and/or animals can or can't be? Who decides the borders? Its just natural evolution, people (invaders?) have populated the entire planet now, and so has everything else. Take honeybees for instance. They are not "native" to the USA, people brought them from Europe. Without bees to pollinate, some areas of the agriculture industry would collapse. Sometimes we depend on the "invasives", so maybe we should let things take their natural course and spend less time "weeding" entire mountainsides.
