The Invasive Species does harm, to the native ecosystem.

Invasion is not justifiable. You must respect each healthy ecosystem as they are present, and even heal or control other ecosystems if necessary. The earth is in rough shape with all this land being poisoned by 2 billion metric tons of garbage. The Native Americans, my people, would not have let this happen.

Thomas Banyacya(Hopi Elder) has been trying to warn y'all about the unsustainable doom that is modern society.

Thankyou; I started working at a Native plant center ; and we had to pull invasive weeds; I’m actually was learning permaculture before this and thought about how we saw “weeds” or plants who are considered nonnative ; we humans often do invasive things ourselves to disturbed and affect ecosystems so I found it hypocritical to completely label nonnatives “ invasive” or dangerous without understanding.

I mean they were clovers were example and I thought what makes one invasive? It it being no native or what they do?

Why should we relate to our ecosystems without resource value judgements? I agree that "native" and "non native" is a nonsensical dichotomy, but I believe species that rapidly take over habitat but provide almost no value to anyone are invasive, and that such a thing can be objectively judged, why not? i have a bunch of weeds in my garden. they wrap around other plants, quickly take over entire growing spots and suck all the nutrients out the soil, bugs don't benefit from them, animals don't eat them. why should i not call these invasive, pull them out, and throw them into my compost? Where did you get the idea that "invasive species" is a colonial construct? - Colonialists are literally invasive.

@@speedos I am not saying we should not value resources in ecosystems, I certainly do. But the current zeal for the native/invasive binary rides alone on that, usually without even bringing it up and saying it’s actually ecologically-based.

@@speedos nothing sucks all the nutrients out of soil but a bulldozer or over irrigating. Nothing is not eaten by other species except perhaps some synthetic materials for a period of time. This is nativist zeal only to even suggest such extreme ideas.

That's literally what invasive species stand for It's a man-made problem and it's our fault that these animals is an invasive species That's just not true Yes human originate from Africa but we already migrated into Asia and Europe about 50 thousand years ago and into the American about 13 thousand years ago through a land bridge if you said that human is an invasive species when human is first arrived at these place I can understand that but we already exist here long ago, the animal around us already know the existence of us, some if them even see human as food Not to mention that human move into those place themselves, they did not get transport into north America or Australia by alien or some other species so even if we ignore everything I have said human is still not an invasive species It's not the animal fault, no one ever said that it's their fault, it's the stupid "Animal lover" that keep releasing pets into the wild fault, they're just trying to survive, no one want to die but if we keep letting them survive the whole ecosystem might collapse

Your propaganda

If invasive is non native wouldn’t that make black and Asian people invasive along side white people

White people aren't a species...

An invasive species is introduced to a new habitat, Humans move themselves.

​@@Mcgee833but isn't humans a species too?

​​@@Mcgee833not all the time big dawg. We had whole slave trades spanning our inception

Yes, but idiots need control over their backyards 🤷‍♂️😬

@@anthonynapier2887 it's more like we need to keep the environment stable, but sure.

The difference is one is a scientific phenomenon that occurs in nature and the other is is a altruistic, nuanced, sociological concept that humans developed to take care of each other. Humans tend to be a little different than insects and pests, and trying to compare the two is dehumanizing, xenophobic, and harmful. This is simply an educational video, your political opinions are not wanted nor needed here. Please try to be kind, it makes a world of difference.

@@swhseaglehandler all the invasive species we are dealing with are not a natural phenomenon, unless people bringing them here on purpose and turning them loose is your definition of a phenomenon?

@@shellygardner6410 you’ve totally missed the point. Try physical instead of natural 🙄 stop being dense

@@swhseaglehandler try reading what I write.

@@shellygardner6410 lol
