Welcome Back | New EU Legislation on Invasive Species

Well this blog kinda slowed down totally stopped over the past few months. I guess that's what happens when you have a 12000 word dissertation to write. But now that that's all dealt with, I thought now is the right time to re-launch this blog.

As they say, a blog about invasive species isn't just for a 50% allocation of marks in a global environmental change module, it's for life.

Or is it dogs and Christmas they say that about?

In any case, something in the news caught my eye this week, namely new EU legislation on invasive species.

The legislation is set to become law within the next few months.

One thing that does seem a bit concerning is that although an 'unlimited list' of invasive species are to be tackled, no specification has been made as to what these species should be.

Will that lead to the wrong species being tackled? In my opinion some kind of priority listing would be beneficial rather than just saying, there's loads of em, work it out for yourselves...

I would go into more detail, but I have final exams coming up soon. As much as I'd love to read more into this legislation, sanitation issues in Africa are calling...

Over and out
