Trash species are wildlife habitat too… 🐰

Much like how junk food like hot pockets and candy bars are food and provide some substance, habitats with invasive species still offer a home to wildlife and are part of a healthy ecosystem. While invasive degrade an ecosystem they don’t destroy it like asphalt and buildings do.

I know it’s an awful bigoted thing to call invasive species, invaders

It’s not like invasive species plan an invasion of an area. In many cases they don’t seek take over an area, kill native species, cause economic harm or job losses. Instead, they are just looking to survive and reproduce in a suitable habitat. Moreover calling something an invasive species rather than a introduced species is a very political statement – introduced species are defined by humans as being helpful rather than harmful.
