Are We The Problem Or The Solution ???

Here is a report about a cool initiative in New Zealand:

Two years ago, New Zealand embarked on an ambitious effort to rid the country of every single rat, stoat, and possum. The invasive mammals were killing around 25 million of the country’s native, flightless birds each year, and the government wanted to give its rare fauna a chance at survival.

If New Zealand stopped controlling its invasive mammal populations, “we would lose more than 95 percent of our native birdlife,” says Dan Tompkins, who’s in charge of the science strategy for Predator Free 2050 Limited, a government-created company tasked with making this plan a reality. Tompkins feels strongly that the government’s plan is the right thing to do for New Zealand, but he knows it won’t be easy.

The "invasive species" didn't fly, swim, or walk there by themselves. Humans brought them when WE invaded New Zealand.

WE spread invasive creatures all over the world.

WE polluted the oceans.

WE poisoned the air, water, and soil.

WE are wrecking this planet.

To think that WE are anything other than the problem is a fantasy at best, and a fatal delusion at its worst. We can't fix things by killing off "invasive species" ... unless Homo sapiens is at the top of the kill list.

And I am NOT advocating mass murder. If we truly are "wise humans", we are capable of finding another way.
