That might be true but that's also not a reason to deliberately change ecosystems elsewhere.
The issue with mosquitos essentially comes down to risk management. The question is can we intentionally remove a mosquito species from the ecosystem while limiting adverse side affects. Deforestation of the amazon isn't relevant.
- Fatnino 4y agoIf it really goes pear-shaped we can reintroduce the invasive mosquito species from its native areas. I wouldn't bet it has any bad effects though.
- Tozen 4y ago> Deforestation of the amazon isn't relevant... I hope you mean not relevant to the discussion or topic, because deforestation of the Amazon is very relevant to the planet.
