Globalisation is basically constant bio warfare on so many Australian species. The cane toad being the most notable on its slow march into Kakadu, we really do have to kill all the rabbits and all the toads for the ecosystem. From what I understand it’s the same in NZ.
- taneq 9y agoCane toads are a terrible example because they were deliberately introduced as a biological control that backfired spectacularly. Many Australian species are dying out because simply terrible at being animals. (It's not a matter of being overspecialized, because imported generalists like rats, mice and cats are outcompeting the native animals even in their specialized niches. They're just ineffective at surviving and reproducing.)
