1. comparisions different. Him 75% v. 50% me: 75% v. 5% 2. Different ecology

Ecological losses from invasives
A. Invasive species cause a decline in native biological communities (DOW, CoCM, ISSG 07)
B. Impacts of invasive species.
i. Natural ecosystem fundamental life support ( Daily et. al. 2002)
ii. Invasive species degrade habitat quality. (Stohlgren, Schnase 06)

II. Impact: turns case

Current political discourses fail to preserve nature (Doremus 2k)
