RE: The Solution to the Cane Toad Invasion is...MORE TOADS?!?
I do not understand how making other species surviving will slow down the toad invasion. At some point they will just be everywhere, won't they?
Yes that's true. The problem is that so far we haven't really had any success stopping the spread or even slowing them down. At the rate they are spreading, there might not be much we can do. But if we can save the native species, then the invasion will at least be far less damaging. It's not a perfect solution, but if we are going to be stuck with the toads, at least we have a way to protect Australia's wildlife.
Even if the toads DO spread to the entire continent (which is looking more and more likely) at least we won't be seeing the loss of the native species that we have been witnessing so far.
I see. Thanks for the answer. It is interesting to note that despite the fact the toads are totally changing the ecosystem, they are not slowed down. This looks like ... humans...
