Taxacom: invaisive species

[John Grehan]

On the assumption that some taxonomists on this list work on conservation
issues, a perspective I heard about might be of interest. A researcher in
the US with indigenous background (Hernandez if I have the name correct)
suggested that 'invasive' was a term that separated people from the
environment, and that a better term would be 'displaced relatives'
(relatives of the native taxa). She also suggested that the term
conservation is also tied up with separation of people and environment
(just think of the National Park system). Instead she approaches this as a
subject of environmental healing.
