Invasive species can have severe impacts in the ecosystems they enter. When highly invasive species are getting into relatively unaltered ecosystems, they simplify that ecosystem. This is what Homo sapiens has been doing on a global scale extremely fast and at global scale. Moreover, humans have brought along many other invasive species. Humans aim to manage all other invasive species, except Homo sapiens itself. Here we are focused on managing all invasive species, including Homo sapiens. We deliberate on strategies to manage invasive species, including the most invasive one (Homo sapiens), ensure monitoring of invasive species through citizen science, and develop road maps and action plans to tackle issues associate with invasive species.

[Jun 04, 2026] ‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: This is what the Global Justice Report published today makes very clear. Read the article by Jonathan Watts in the Guardian as an introduction. While this equal and habitable world is still possible, it is very unlikely that we will transition to this world as long as greedy and unethical billionaires supported by governments they own compete to be the first trillionaire. The report underlines that the fight for an equal and habitable world has to be a fight against a system that rewards extraction and depletion of all resources and requires infinitely growing consumption devouring the Earth's life-support system; a system designed to increase inequality and sustain the exploitation of almost all to serve the greed of a few!

[May 09, 2026] Doomsday Clock is Getting Closer to Midnight: In January, the Doomsday clock was set to 85 seconds before midnight, the closest setting since it was established in 1947 in response to the threat of nuclear war. Sophie McBain in her article “‘The odds are not in our favour’: who sets the Doomsday Clock – and what can they tell us about the future of humanity?” emphasizes that with the wars on Iran and on the Ukraine, the rapid and largely uncontrolled development of AI and the climate breakdown all together increasing the likelihood of a nuclear war, the clock now stands closer to midnight than ever before. She asks the question of whether we can buy ourselves more time.
