Doing habitat restoration in Hawaii, it's such an uphill battle to restore endemic ecosystems because you have to not only remove the invasives, but also set up the habitat to actually recover from its partial conversion. Whether we like it or not, biotic interchange & competition are facts of nature, but we can still do our part to mitigate the impact of Human-caused disruptions.

It's not that ppl don't care. It's just that it's LITERALLY impossible to prevent invasive plant & animal species from reproducing. There are likely tens of thousands, if not millions, of individual seedlings already growing across your island & the CA coast. If just a SINGLE seed or spore exists anywhere island WIDE, then the plant won't be eradicated. It's a mostly pointless endeavor spending time & money removing invasive species from a single locale - much less HAND removing them. The same applies to invasive fish & reptile species. FL will NEVER eradicate invasive boas, pythons, iguanas, capybaras, and nutria from the Everglades. Same as NYC, Chicago, Boston and EVERY other city in the nation will never eliminate the Norwegian Brown Rat (ie. the rat) from existence. It's like Fish & Game spending hundreds of thousands per year trying to manually electrocute to death Chinese carp in the Mississippi River using bass boats, and also paying fishermen per-fish-bounties to catch & kill carp. It's a pointless waste of funds... but I guess it keeps people employed which is why they continue budgeting these projects.

@@MossyEarth As you probably know, there's a big trend in collecting rare houseplants among many younger people who are priced out of the housing market and confined to smaller condos and flats, as everyone feels the need to connect to nature. Perhaps some volunteers could harvest seeds to sell to those collectors to help fund new nurseries? Or simply to ensure that the plants are being cultivated in various places while your nursery is still in the planning phase, thereby crowdsourcing the best methods of cultivation?

I am from South Africa, so I'm sorry that our plants are causing such a problem 😢. Ice plants aren't all bad though.... We used to use Ice plant leaves for Portuguese Man of War stings. Which was really handy, since they grew just above the high tide mark, and we're always available when we got stung. My mom also used to make an antibacterial mouth wash from them that was great for throat infections. Be careful eating the fruits, though. They work as a laxative if you have too many😮😮😮

Now that is a big problem as well here in South Africa. To give an example of how bad Acacia is. A few years ago they did a big removal of Acacia plantations growing along side a long dried up river in the Cape Province. A year after cutting down the river started to flow. Old people along the entire length of this river said that it was the first time since they were kids that they remember the river flowing with huge amounts of flow. That one incident was a huge wake up call to a lot of South Africans of the detrimental affects of Acacia trees known as Wattle trees here. Regards from South Africa

Was very confused for a second. The ice plant is almost identical to Karkalla/Carpobrotus rossii (Australian pigface - (pigface is what we call Iceplant here in Australia)) which is the native Australian relative of the Iceplant which I plant often at work in coastal areas and gardens. Has beautiful bright flowers but can be a pain to maintain as it spreads very quickly and is very heavy when hauling away in mass.
