Invasives: A Major Conservation Threat

A flurry of recent articles call upon the conservation community to
embrace invasive species. Davis and coauthors propose down-sizing the
struggle against invasives (1). In the News Focus story "Embracing
invasives" (18 March, p. 1383), G. Vince suggests that the Galápagos
"embrace the aliens." In The New York Times (2), H. Raffles accused
environmentalists, conservationists, and gardeners targeting invasive
species of being unreasoningly dogmatic and xenophobic.
