It’s gotta be a group effort. If we don’t take considerable action altogether in a few years we could look back in horror at our complacency. Great vid.
Pehnaho, tsande imaah Sosoni'. ❤️ I just love nature and I live my life in a way that protects our natural resources. We ALL need to come together and clean up our planet and stop the invasion of non-native species in areas where it does not belong. Wish you all the best! May the Great Spirit watch over you. 🙏
This was so informative, usually when I hear about invasive it’s the snakes or amphibious creatures. I was not as aware of the effect of invasive plants with the exception of kudzu or certain Ivey. Thank you and I agree we can all start in our little piece of earth, in our own backyards.
Before I became too disabled to keep it up, I had lots “wild” gardens with native plants. I tried to plant things native insects and mammals could eat and live on or under or within. Many beasties were very much in love with my composting pile.
Thank you for your work. Among what I appreciate is the collection of materials to further investigate, consider, and use to engage in productive dialogue. One point I wish to challenge is the statement that invasive species have not led to extinction of any species, made with the qualifier of "on a continental scale". I challenge viewers to research this claim and suggest starting with querying whether we really know. Also, consider if it is significant whether complete annihilation vs virtual elimination or dramatic alteration has occurred. Note on the continental qualifier, Australia seems to be considered an island in this argument and, if a species occurred only on an island and is now extinct on that island then it is extinct from the Earth. Ultimately, what is the point of waiting until extinction occurs to decide something is amiss? I urge: Consider species and ecosystems above and below ground, aquatic and terrestrial, macro and microscopic, and to otherwise be all inclusive. Consider species such as the chestnut, elm, earthworms, Yunnan lake newt, and consider whether humans are invasive or act in an invasive manner. Again, I challenge people to dig deeper. And to avoid getting overwhelmed, follow the advise given that each of us can help by taking care of what is in our immediate environment and by making more skillful choices.
I attended a webinar yesterday - Joyce Novak guest speaker and head of Peconic Estuary Partnership...I shared with the participants the documentary as invasive species came up.
There has been a decrease in Bucks County of the spotted lantern fly. We had an increase and they seem to be dying out. No one knows why. I have no seen one this year August 2024!
The problem with Hydrilla in Central Florida where I live is significant as well as Illinois pondweed. When these are sprayed with herbicide it turns the crystal clear water into green soup for weeks. I am not sure which is worse. Some of the lakes have had "sterile" carp placed in them to control the vegatation. Then, the carp eat everything .
I remember when we first got up to the lake and we were looking at the property and I see this beautiful green metallic bug on the tree I said wow is that ever cool. Then we started seeing the commercials about an invasive species that are killing all of our ash trees, lo and behold, the beautiful beetle, and our tree died yrs later.MN'98 excellent video.
The Japanese knotweed is an incredibly resilient plant.It is a major problem for property owners and once you get it , it’s impossible to get rid of. We unearthed all the knotweed on our property that we could get up, the rest we cut in half and dumped bleach into the stems, then put plastic tarps on the entire property that wasn’t a large tree. It’s been grueling. It’s still coming back in spots but we kill those plants off and are hoping for the best. We need to get rid of all of it to sell the house. The problem is that it comes from the surrounding properties. It’s been a major hardship.
Many states have a spray program for it, even paying land owners to fight it on their property. I’d try to contact your neighbors to see how they feel, try to educate them and contact your local extension office to see what resources are available to you. I commend your efforts, I’m not a fan of chemicals, but in your situation I would think that ADDING a spray schedule to spot treat the ones that pop up would be effective without being a huge detriment to the environment, that’s totally up to you, personally I think it’s a good trade off for the most part, however it can be a total waste! If you spray 100 gallons of acephate this year, kill it all then allow the knotweed back in your place in 3 years then it was all for nothing. Best of luck!
Pet store should be held accountable for selling these snakes🐍🚫 don't know how we're going to combat the ash bugs!? This is very informative I was thinking just animal type aggressors. Plants bugs oh my goodness! Thank you for this valued information.👍🏼✌🏼🖖🏼
As our climate continues to warm there is going to be much more invasive species than we have had before. I am glad my state takes the issue of invasive species seriously
I've tried to make people aware about invasive birds, but people don't care. I even mentioned this problem to the parks department and I was ignored as well. You sparrows and starlings are cute but they're invasive species and are very aggressive, people don't realize how their aggressiveness is detrimental to native species, even the ones that are bigger in size. Then there are the pigeons who bring all kinds of diseases and are also pretty aggressive
How well does that stem injection work on the Japanese knotweed? I've treated small patches on the Allegheny river here in PA. We mechanically knocked it back with weed eaters, then allowed it to grow back. Six weeks after the knock back we would spray it with glyphosate and that pretty much eradicated it. I checked a year later and it was probably a 95% or better kill rate. And don't even get me started on Japanese barberry, lol.
People are uncontrolled. The deer have fewer and fewer places to find food so they eat gardens where there used to be their natural food and now there are houses, lawns, gardens and roads and the folks whose gardens are being eaten see the deer as “rats with ears.” We have infected hemlocks on Cayuga Lake. We treated the best trees, but couldn’t treat them all.
In Africa the main problem children are largemouth and smallmouth bass, common carp, black wattle trees, arundo reed, water hyacinth and river poplar. In a region with predicted water shortages due to climate change I find it very strange that little is actually being done about it by local authorities - by and large.
Probably devoting more resources and money to the problem and science instead of the military and cops we would be able to prevent problems instead of paying this massive cost down the road. It’s really frustrating that officials don’t want to devote resources but want the problem solved.
You get my aid for sure, but I’m being censored on what I really wanted to thank you for, but I believe there’s built in algorithms or ears that don’t like certain “emotive words. I’ve been with you since Paul Watson, Paul Spong..Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and in the order of things CND to. I applied to work on the Rainbow Warrior -the first one, but didn’t get aboard due to this being The Most Popular job in the then Greenpeace based locally to my place way back when I lived in the “big smoke” -cough London. Will support you. Oxxx
enjoyed this overall, but i wish they had used binomial names. during the discussion about 'water chestnut', the world over a common name for Eleocharis dulcis, however the taxon shown in the video is not that. it looks like maybe Trapa natans, or commonly water caltrop. This introduces confusion, and points to the fundamental problem with common names in botany.
God forbid you tell a cat person how detrimental outdoor cats are! Cats are cool as hell, they’re little murder machines tho… they just kill everything! But here in the states people thing I’m a monster if I express this, call me an animal hater despite the fact I have a cat in my house, he’s great and all, but he’s just 1 cat, hes not more important than the hundreds of snakes, amphibians, mammals birds and bugs that he would destroy every day. I can’t bring myself to trap and kill the cats I see, I can’t tell which cats are pets on the prowl versus the ones that are feral. Honestly I don’t care much, but the thought of killing a beloved pet stops me. I can only imagine how I’d have felt if some asshole shot my pet when I was 10. However I may start trapping them, marking them and releasing them to see what happens. If it’s a pet then people need to keep them out of my yard, ( they need to stay IN their home), I’m not ok with their pet killing my snakes, and in our society I can at least flex my “right to private property” lol
@@swayback7375 A lot of cat owners I've seen (including me) agree that you should keep your cats indoors for the safety of the cats themselves and wildlife in the area. Though there are some people who like to let their cats kill everything in their backyards 🙄 I would never let my cat outside just for the fact that I'm afraid he would get hurt since there's already a lot of stray cats on my street.
Cats aren’t invasive, they’re feral. It’s seems like a slight difference in terminology, but it’s an important difference. Feral animals are domestic animals that humans are responsible for releasing like horse, hogs, cats, and dogs. They’re all incredibly damaging, but feral not invasive.
@@kapkanmoaratty5725 I understand the damage cats do. I’m already sold on that. I want you to know why, but cats and other domestic animals aren’t listed as invasive species or treated as an invasive.
Thanks for the great film! Ironically, the goldenrod you show in the very first shot of unspoilt nature has become an invader here in central Europe... at least the bees like it!
About those beautiful deer! There are less deer than there were 100’s of years ago! The fact that we have decimated their habitat is the problem. Some have become land locked. I live in Bucks County,PA., which used to be woods and farmland. Now it is wall to wall developments and housing in most areas. So of course deer seem to be on the increase. Same in New Jersey. Yes we have killed their natural predators. We now have an influx of Coyotes which in packs will kill deer. It may not be the same but remember it appears that we have more deer when in reality during Thomas Jefferson’s time there were more then now. We are the problem as usual!
So much of this always goes back to the old world Europeans. Whether it's invasive species, killing off native wildlife, over consumption of natural resources, introducing diseases to other areas of the world where they didn't exist prior to their arrival - most of this goes back to the old world Europeans. It's amazing how devastating Humans were back then and they didn't even know or think about the consequences of their actions. There's much more awareness now but sometimes I wonder if old world Humans have done way too much for us to fix it at this point.
I do notice that the NYDEC sells a number of non-native species in their tree sales; among the evergreens they sell Austrian Pine, Scotch Pine, Norway Pine, European Larch and Japanese Larch. I don't know that they are invasive but they do not contribute to the ecology in the way that native species do.
While the majority of species sold by the NYS DEC Saratoga Tree Nursery are native, they also sell some non-native species that are designed to help land managers meet specific goals. This allows The Nursery to support the New York forest and environmental Industry, including: the lumber industry, paper industry, Christmas tree farmers, wetland restoration efforts, and habitat improvement projects. The Nursery acknowledges the importance of supporting the use of native species in New York plantings and promotes these species to land managers. We also realize that some non-native species are highly utilized by parts of the forest industry and are essential to their economic future. Non-native species sold by The Nursery are monitored as far as potentially being invasive. Those species which do exhibit invasive habits are either discontinued completely, or no longer offered for sale within those areas where incompatibility with the local forest type exists.
All I've seen in this state is how much money the state spends on these efforts for them not to be successful. IE: emerald ash borer, stink bug, water chestnut, hogsweed
Been working in these field of invasion ecology, more I go deep into study I feel more worry. However US are knowing the impact and working hard to contain it but in my country nobody knows,even governments don't have plan for it. Applying a project with title "invasive species", government officials reply-- we need high tech project not this unrelated species.
What infuriating is how anglers have dropped the ball with common carp and are too lazy and just toss them back if they catch one. They have given in an just accepted treating common carp as a native and have given up control. They don't realize out there there are native fish having a hard time and need all they help they can get because its the Common carp that have driven them to the brink.
these lantern things destroyed our pussywillow tree and ,by the time we realized they killed the tree it was to late. we could not save the tree, HOWEVER we mixed a VERY SMALL amount of dawn dish detg ,and water and that kills them INSTANTLY , NEXT SEASON THEY WILL BE ERRADICATED FROM THIS YARD
Sounds like humans are an invasive species or at least act as an invasive species in specific situations. Do all logging operations act in the way you mention? Who or what is ultimately the cause of these actions?
I think we should consider researching the history of invasive Species globally before formulating such opinions. Our planet governs life here on a different time scale to human existence.
the story of the White man is the story of almost every invention you use daily, along with the culture you participate in (or fail to). bow down and thank us!
If so called invasive species were suddenly found to be not as problematic every single scientist interviewed for this documentary jobs would be in danger. This is literally job security for them. What ny has done and allows to happen to many fisheries throughout the state in the name of eradicating invasive submergent vegetation has been absolutely disastrous.
That's not right, look @ the money we've spent on homeland security !!! And our American Farmers go without because you think that's a better way to do business ??? Whatever happened, I don't want to get into this like that... When's the last time anybody's called her a lady
Pseudoscience. Some arguments made in this video are valid. But the underlying ideas are built on completely disproven concepts. For example, there is no such thing as balance in nature. If there was, how could it be defined? It's impossible to find a satisfying definition. Nature is a state of continual alteration between stability and instability. We have trouble seeing this undulation because of our comparatively short lifespans. However, by looking at the pollen record or at palynomorphs, we can see just how much things change. Climates change massively, geomorphology changes also and thus species assemblages change. Another criticique of invasion biology is, how all the negative phenomena that are attributed to invasives also occur by natives. Native population outbreaks and massive dieoffs. Native monostands and severe habitat restriction caused by natives. Furthermore, nothing that humans do (with their movement of species) is any different than what occurs without humans. Take for instance the movement of entire continents by plate tectonics. This can be likened to us building a ship and traversing goods from one continent to another. The moment at which two previously separated continents touched, must have contributed to the same massive ecological changes that we see now. Massive vegetation changes and as a corollary, massive animal extinctions. Also, vegetation rafts have carried animal species across the ocean without human interference. Yes, biogeographical barriers do exist, but there are mechanisms by which they are traversed completely without human interference. The reason why this "science" stays afloat is because of the money machine behind it. Pesticide manufacturers profit greatly by environmentalists spraying their poisons instead of sueing them for environmental destruction, which would be a more appropriate act to help the environment. Lastly, you invasion fanatics are xenophobic at worst and anthropophobic at best. Since your hatred for certain invasive species may not be directed at them, but at humans for spreading them, and since, spreading species is literally an impossibility as long as we have international trade and travel, furthermore since the act of spreading is the most natural thing for any organism to do, I must conclude you are nature-hating.
WASTE OF TIME. I stopped vid at eight min. when all they were saying is blah blah blah, with not one word to describe WHAT THE HELL HAS INVADED America. thumbs down.

All I've seen in this state is how much money the state spends on these efforts for them not to be successful.
IE: emerald ash borer, stink bug, water chestnut, hogsweed
Been working in these field of invasion ecology, more I go deep into study I feel more worry. However US are knowing the impact and working hard to contain it but in my country nobody knows,even governments don't have plan for it. Applying a project with title "invasive species", government officials reply-- we need high tech project not this unrelated species.
Bring back native species, spread seeds, spores and plants where you can
What infuriating is how anglers have dropped the ball with common carp and are too lazy and just toss them back if they catch one. They have given in an just accepted treating common carp as a native and have given up control. They don't realize out there there are native fish having a hard time and need all they help they can get because its the Common carp that have driven them to the brink.
In other words, don't mess with Mother Nature. She has it under control until man interfers.
Old man beard must go
This is an important topic, unfortunately I quit twelve minutes in due to poor audio quality and ridiculous background music.
did Edward Snowden narrate this? lol
these lantern things destroyed our pussywillow tree and ,by the time we realized they killed the tree it was to late. we could not save the tree, HOWEVER we mixed a VERY SMALL amount of dawn dish detg ,and water and that kills them INSTANTLY , NEXT SEASON THEY WILL BE ERRADICATED FROM THIS YARD
Is this aba of aba and preach narrating if not this guy was blessed with the same goofy ass voice
I'm from Australia the cane toad has desamated the native animals
Wites not trying to be offensive only care cuz of their beach houses, cabins and other estates on non euro lands have been effected.
👍🏿
We have a invasive species of the human kind in the Americas and Africa
#tunaboyz
And why was it brought into this country.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So basically we need to resort back to the "savage" lifestyle? The hippies were right! The indigenous peoples had it well under control. I love it.
THE PROBLEN ISENT FROM SMALL BOATS ITS FROM SHIPS TAKING ON BALLEST WATER N DUMPING IT AT THERE DESTINATION !!!!!!!!
Like Europeans?
Don’t logging company impact humans too I mean the logging guys leave no trees standing cut everything down just like that bug
Sounds like humans are an invasive species or at least act as an invasive species in specific situations. Do all logging operations act in the way you mention? Who or what is ultimately the cause of these actions?
I think we should consider researching the history of invasive Species globally before formulating such opinions. Our planet governs life here on a different time scale to human existence.
The story of the white man!
What story is that ? Technology, civilization, advanced medicine, science ??
the story of the White man is the story of almost every invention you use daily, along with the culture you participate in (or fail to).
bow down and thank us!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 best comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@needmoreramsay all stolen lmao
Human are the invasive one
Pale ones
dog
If so called invasive species were suddenly found to be not as problematic every single scientist interviewed for this documentary jobs would be in danger. This is literally job security for them.
What ny has done and allows to happen to many fisheries throughout the state in the name of eradicating invasive submergent vegetation has been absolutely disastrous.
leave the shrubs alone.
Everything has a purpose.
Invasion biology = biologist who want to always be right without having to do science.
That's not right, look @ the money we've spent on homeland security !!! And our American Farmers go without because you think that's a better way to do business ??? Whatever happened, I don't want to get into this like that... When's the last time anybody's called her a lady
You do realize you have completely destroyed the theory of evolution.....
Not a bad thing
China
Pseudoscience.
Some arguments made in this video are valid. But the underlying ideas are built on completely disproven concepts.
For example, there is no such thing as balance in nature. If there was, how could it be defined? It's impossible to find a satisfying definition. Nature is a state of continual alteration between stability and instability. We have trouble seeing this undulation because of our comparatively short lifespans. However, by looking at the pollen record or at palynomorphs, we can see just how much things change.
Climates change massively, geomorphology changes also and thus species assemblages change.
Another criticique of invasion biology is, how all the negative phenomena that are attributed to invasives also occur by natives. Native population outbreaks and massive dieoffs. Native monostands and severe habitat restriction caused by natives.
Furthermore, nothing that humans do (with their movement of species) is any different than what occurs without humans. Take for instance the movement of entire continents by plate tectonics. This can be likened to us building a ship and traversing goods from one continent to another. The moment at which two previously separated continents touched, must have contributed to the same massive ecological changes that we see now. Massive vegetation changes and as a corollary, massive animal extinctions.
Also, vegetation rafts have carried animal species across the ocean without human interference.
Yes, biogeographical barriers do exist, but there are mechanisms by which they are traversed completely without human interference.
The reason why this "science" stays afloat is because of the money machine behind it. Pesticide manufacturers profit greatly by environmentalists spraying their poisons instead of sueing them for environmental destruction, which would be a more appropriate act to help the environment.
Lastly, you invasion fanatics are xenophobic at worst and anthropophobic at best.
Since your hatred for certain invasive species may not be directed at them, but at humans for spreading them, and since, spreading species is literally an impossibility as long as we have international trade and travel, furthermore since the act of spreading is the most natural thing for any organism to do, I must conclude you are nature-hating.
I thought this was a video about democrats and the biden family
WASTE OF TIME. I stopped vid at eight min. when all they were saying is blah blah blah, with not one word to describe WHAT THE HELL HAS INVADED America. thumbs down.
I just uploaded this Video to the new-- NYWOODSANDWATER in the Habitat Forum.
As our climate continues to warm there is going to be much more invasive species than we have had before. I am glad my state takes the issue of invasive species seriously
