I don't understand this, how can these projects be managed so carelessly ?
- PaulHoule 3y agoCarelessness is the default behavior of humans when it comes to the environment. When "native Americans" came here via the land bridge in several passes one of the first things they did was wipe out the megafauna. Europeans transferred many of the most valuable plants (wheat, corn, potatoes, ...) between continents they also transferred all of the worst weeds and plant diseases. Maybe someday people will wise up about it but they haven't yet.
