Paperback. Condition: Good. A caste of plants and animals, labeled 'invasive species,' are charged with being a key cause of habitat degradation that must be eradicated at any cost-an ethically questionable and often futile approach. While some invasive species cause great environmental damage, recent developments in the study of ecology have found that intervention efforts themselves have frequently proved more harmful than helpful to their local ecosystems. Yet the outdated narrative of 'species management' persists in both public belief and conservation policy, distracting from and even justifying a far greater threat to biodiversity: the global capitalist system that is destroying our planet. Drawing on environmental science and semiotics, Scapegoat recounts how the use of biased rhetoric and inaccessible language has created support for a popular but misleading war of 'native' against 'invasive' that does nothing to address the root cause of biodiversity loss.
