Wow this is really cool, the fact that humans can change things in a way that they can expect is very astonishing. Unlike the way we changed the US whenever we populated it, for once it's for the stabilization of an ecosystem.
No they would most likely not eat them and if they did she said there is little poison on them, so they would just pass through theyr digestive system or get broken down in the stomach.
I was wondering the same thing so I looked up the NPS public EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) for the purposed plan and here's what I found.... parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=292&projectID=53227&documentID=63430 (here's the PDF) The low toxicity of the thiamethoxam bait, 0.0006% was designed to reduce the impact to a species if it did consume the bait. For instance, a 0.8 kg fox pup would need to consume 144 gallons of bait to reach LD50 levels. The restricted longevity of the toxicant bait (< 60 hours) maximizes the Argentine ant visitation per unit time and minimizes the non‐target impact because the presence of Argentine ants on the baits is a deterrent to visits from non‐target arthropods. The impact of the toxicant bait on the most prevalent non‐target group, native ants, are further reduced when Argentine ants are present because of the homogenization of ant assemblages and reduction in native ant abundance following the invasion of Argentine ants. The polyacrylamide beads containing the liquid bait allows very little liquid (and therefore the toxicant) to contact the soil and thus potentially leech into the soil. Unlike liquid baits that are applied on the mainland, in vegetated areas this bait will often rest on vegetation, not soil, for the 24‐28 hours it needs to dehydrate, which further reduces the amount of toxicant that comes into contact with soil. In 24‐28 hours the polyacrylamide dehydrates and most of the toxicant is still contained in the polyacrylamide, where it will break down over 6 weeks to 9 months. They've been working on this since 2011, so they obviously thought a lot about the impacts to native species.
"We, as a, society..." No. As much as conservation is important and worthy. It's because of "society" that we find ourselves here in the Anthropecene. I just find it odd that she's speaking for everyone when this type of work is carried out by a minuscule fraction of people in this field, let alone compared to "society" at large.

That's one petrified fox!
Why were the foxes so calm in her hands... but so quick to run off when left free?
look at how she holds him
Thank you so much for doing this 💗🥺😢😭
"ok we gotta save this animal" *kill 5000 of another species/displace another* "ok they should be able to live here now"
I thought they were mostly endangered because of golden eagles.

And that's how Leicester City won the premier league
Why is wired such a cool science based publisher?
And they would never stoop to pay commenters to write good comments
no probably not

War never changes
WHY WAS THIS REUPLOADED!?!?? I HAVE TO KNOW!!!
+The Bot actually it is
Re-upload with a more clickbaity title? actually nope they are different videos with all the same footage just recut.
????
Idc about swiper
0:18 HAHAHA
This what is going to happen in humans when the alien ecologist agency takes action.
they coming for you first.
Awe so cute, but does that ball of death kill native ants too?
I think they don't go over the same areas with those death balls, so probably not

SO COOL!
Yet another win for science.
Why would you take the work to capture and relocate all the Eagles but kill all the pigs?
The eagles as well as the foxes where probably in the endangered zone, but the pigs weren't.
Awesome!

PIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS

Cool
That fox looks awesome

If you are reading this say one nice thing about the woman in this video.
Humans should not interfere with nature
well they did interfere with nature and this video shows how there fixing the problem they caused the last time they interfered
Like that’s stopped us before
