I've talked about invasive species with my students in environmental science (high school). Wish I could get a copy of Steve Irwin's episodes of "Outlaws of the Outback." Still, I had not thought to apply that particular terminology to mankind. It fits, though.
Earlier this year, my mother treated me to a trip to Ohahu and Kauai. It's really sad to think that most of the flora seen there is not really indigenous.
Wish I were in good enough physical shape for a trip to Madagascar. It's obscene to think that so many of those species may become extinct during our lifetime.
