When plants or animals move, or are moved, to a place they don't belong, there is a risk of damage to natural habitats and an economic cost too.
@franckcourchamp.bsky.social talks to @talknormal.co.uk about how we estimate the size of this risk and what we can do about it

Scientists should be empowered to focus on the communication of their research field’s facts; science journalists should be available to broaden the readership, present scientific knowledge in an accessible way and strengthen the outreach impact.

Science journalism and a multi-directional science-policy-society dialogue are needed to foster public awareness for biodiversity and its conservation

Biodiversity is the manifestation of life on our planet and provides manifold benefits for humans. Yet we destroy ecosystems and drive species to extinction. We submit that anthropogenic biodiversity ...

Adding to the discussion about impacts: do the "benefits" of an invasive species outweigh its costs? No way!
See why in our discussion here: #biologicalinvasions

Benefits do not balance costs of biological invasions

Abstract. Biological invasions have profound impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and services, resulting in substantial economic and health c
