Oh it just came out: I wrote this short essay shortly after the research trip in Aotearoa recalling a very.. strange.. experience of a field day catching wallabies. Three were caught that day, many let go because they weren’t big enough. I still think about them sometimes. 🫧

The past 5 weeks I’ve been in different forests (“the bush”) in Aotearoa New Zealand’s North Island. Studying “invasive” and protected animals control/monitoring and the role of kindness in killing, emotions in science.. How can you not be emotional in such beauty??

Had a great time earlier this week in the “invasive species” workshop in Zurich - so wonderful to meet all the people in this field! Great papers and great walk in Sihlwald to think about how nativeness and invasiveness are used for different agendas! @angecass.bsky.social @mattholmes.bsky.social
