No plant is biologically a weed. Meaning something unwanted and to be removed, the word emerges as management jargon loosely used in gardening, agriculture and forestry, for centuries, writes Ranjit Daniels in this #commentary. india.mongabay.com/2025/06/wildfl…

This commentary re-highlights the necessity of nuanced understanding about when a species population in invasive. Such evidence-based categories are critical for management decisions and have been adapted by ipbes and other global and India's regional agencies. Bioinvasions India

New paper People and Nature: We define Nature-based Solutions and societal adaptations to biological invasions. Solutions must go beyond just removal, particularly at scales with societal trade-offs. We show how to build resilient ecosystems in a globalized world Ninad Mungi Jens Svenning

Exotic wildlife trade highlights the rising chances of biological invasions. Both the traded animals and the microbiota associated with them can likely build future invasions. Once seized, the animals must be carefully treated to avoid any potential risk.

India is nowhere close to being the "4th most equal country in the world". To the contrary, it might even be one of the most unequal. #BillionaireRaj Read this "Explained Economics" piece by Udit Misra & don't let propaganda fool you. Short thread with main issues at hand.

Alien plant species, introduced by humans directly or indirectly in different geographical regions of the world, are now spreading at an unprecedented pace, reshaping tropical ecosystems globally 🖊️ Himanshu Nitnaware downtoearth.org.in/wildlife-biodi…

Tropical biomes are vulnerable to invasive plants, due to the legacy of historical human influence and ongoing global changes. Here, alien plants are triggering rapid emergence of novel ecosystems ipbes UN Biodiversity FAO Climate Change & Biodiversity IPCC
