There are few scientists, wildlife experts who recognize and work on “feral” ecologies. The disasters which are occuring because of our past and current practices. Ecologies that have been encouraged by human-built infrastructures, but which have developed and spread beyond human control. Way beyond imagination sometimes. For example the co-evolution of humans and domestic dogs has now reached a critical juncture in history. With expanding human domination over land, domestic dogs too have penetrated every terrestrial surface and habitat, with unfortunate consequences. After domestic cats and rodents, domestic dogs rank third as world’s most damaging invasive mammalian predators.
So is a world full of dogs and cats, feral or domesticated, a good thing after all?
That aspect of severe overshoot is alarming to say the least.
