" the Brown Tree snake is a serious problem. There are entire books on it and similar species. It HAS decimated entire bird populations/species on certain islands."
Yes I'm familiar. I've been following it since the 70`s and have read many scientific articals and publications on the subject. And who put these out ? It might have happened as portrayed but just like the burm situation it's VERY likely to have been exaggerated. That`s where the money and the fame is for these guys.
If you study the whole Gaum picture and all that has a happened there you'll understand why question marks as to the authenticity of Rodda and friends information are valid.
The tree snakes had an impact but how much did they really do ? Combine that with the proof that Rodda and friends are very willing to skew the truth for personal gain. Burms are a text book example of their MO , I don't think they just picked this trick up yesterday.
