National Park Service fire crews have been igniting controlled fires in the Florida Everglades to control an invasive vine that’s been wreaking havoc on the native ecosystem.

Why not create a full size animatronic flame spewing Dragon

florida somehow keeps getting more invasive species of any tropical or temperate kind!!!

Why not just use fire arrows fire swords and set anything on fire hey maybe you could build a bigger a fire to kill to invasive species with one flame

How bout fires to control invasive Spring Breakers?🤔

Its a nice way to get over time, especially if the controlled burning gets out of control.

I wonder how many animals are killed when they do this

[tbbainter]

This is stupid and irresponsible. Better natural and effective ways to control this species. This is just the cheap way

I prefer to let the plants do their thing despite the cost of native life
