Show Notes

Today we explore an invasive tree species that is also an extremely economically important tree in places where it is invasive, and has even become culturally important in some places! Explore this socioeconomic and ecological issue with us via a case study in the Ecuadorian Andes.

Statement correction: Kirstynn states that bananas are INVASIVE in Ecuador when they are really just NON-NATIVE.
