Island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable since they evolved in splendid isolation with specialized niches and no natural predators for newcomers.

It's basically misanthropy disguised as environmental activism! The twisted logic operates on the premise that fewer humans = less pollution, which is technically true but ethically... questionable at best. The perfect example of when dark humor and environmental science collide in the most uncomfortable way possible.
