| Re: Is It Native?
Many species that are out of balance with human economic activities are considered to be problem species, native or not. There does recently seem to be a figure of eight cycle whereby we persue something to near extinction then sit up and realise and then protect it. This can lead to a population growth and in time to calls for control to be allowed again. This has happened with seals, is happening with badgers, raptors etc. Some will and do carry out illegal control and it is usually to protect commercial activities. At least groups exsist now fight and put forward arguments for many species. This didn't hapen in the 19th centurary whic is why species have been lost completely ans in some respects why we have some of the problems we do with non natives |
