“I don’t think we want to live in a global #suburbia. Why do you want to go to a place and see the same weeds you can see in your back garden?”

“We’ve introduced #ferals to the bottom of the world. They’re destroying it
Research published in Scientific Data this month suggests humans have introduced 1125 new species to the Southern Ocean islands, which surround #Antarctica, and 135 to the frozen continent itself. The list reads like an exotic menagerie: budgerigars, canaries, geese, terrapins, opossums, hedgehogs, pigs, reindeer, hamsters, foxes and even monkeys. These species have hunted local #seabirds and destroyed native plants. The problem is going to get worse. Australian explorers noted #dogs so feral they had basically become wolves.”
