Notes:
Summary: Invasive species destroy the ecosystem in the area where they don't belong and they tend to compete with native species. Invasive species destroy farms and fisheries Nationwide. Which costs a big amount of $120 million a year! There was an idea hunting invasive species, but Bun that of an even more interesting and better solution to this problem. Instead of just hunting them and killing them, he hunts them and turns them into dishes that are edible for humans. Take advantage of the invasive species that are taking over an area. Bun Lai provides a "free weeding service" by collecting invasive species and turning them into food. For example, the Japanese know weed is named one of the world's 100 worst invasive species.
Reflection: While reading this article it made me surprise that we could eat species that we thought weren't edible. For example, he can even turn the World's poisonous fish into fine delicious dish! Now I am craving for some Kiribati Sashimi meat now, crying so hard inside! It is really fascinating how people use their interests in trying to come up with ideas on how tol help the ecosystem and maintain homeostasis on Earth. Even though, it can be hard sometimes.
