Nice and succint - thank you Henry!
I think a simple test may suffice?
"On the balance of probability do we believe that the Australian environment
(regardless of the damage inflicted by other species including us) would be
better of without them?"
As to whether eradication may ever be possible and should it be funded - well,
never say never I reckon - but one can't be optimistic. As I understand it,
lack of funds killed CSIRO's "daughterless carp" program at a promising point.
Happy to be corrected on that though.
Maybe it's up to us all to express an opinion in favour of continued science
based effort at a sensible level.
