Invasive species are mostly bad for ecosystems. They introduce a lot of unknowns. There is nothing safe for neither humans nor wildlife about possibility introducing invasive species.

- hedora 6y agoThe hills of California used to be green in the summer. The dead yellow fire hazard grass is called “avena” and is an invasive species. If I ran things, I’d develop an avena-specific herbicide, and drop it from helicopters every spring. Replacing it with natives would lower the fire risk substantially, and probably also cool the hills off a bit during the summer.
