I am assuming “conservation areas” in this sense means native/indigenous lands
Comment on Snitches get switches
Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 17 hours agoOK…
But would it be a problem if I did?
Or are there areas to protect invasive species? I don’t think that’s a thing?
So, still don’t get it.

You are probably confusing it with “reservation”.

idk I was just guessing. I don’t see how the joke with ecological conservation (since getting rid of invasive species is good, right?)

Usually, on land that is intended to be preserved, they don’t want random people hacking away at vegetation, so they will have rules about it. If a park ranger or someone like that sees you cutting down trees or whatever, you are probably going to get yelled at or fined or something.
It’s also highly dependent on species and location. Some invasive species will basically multiply if you try to tear them out, either resprouting vegetatively, or through seed spread. Species like tree-of-heaven or paulonia also become huge trees, so they probably don’t want you cutting those down.
Some places like Oahu are basically 95% invasive species, so if you remove that, you have nothing left. Oahu is basically all guava and mesquite trees, and without that, the soil washes away, and there’s no hope of recovery, so invasive management needs to be done in consultation with experts.

Same here.
Meme is imho somewhat crappy and certainly to un-scientific to be under “science memes”.

I think the general idea is that you shouldn’t mess with conservation land. The general public isn’t educated enough to know what is invasive and what isn’t, so the rules say don’t disturb stuff. But if someone who was educated was in the park removing invasive species, they are almost certainly “breaking the rules”, but doing a net positive thing.
So if you see it…you didn’t.

Some of it, at least with plants, is that the invasive species has taken over a niche of the native species. So in removing it, you alter the balance of the ecosystem. Native birds in an area may be at more risk than a native bush due to a loss in habitat, so it’s better to leave an invasive bush if it provides that need for the bird

ls “conservation land” something special, then?
English Wikipedia seems not to know it, and dictionary translated it to “Landschaftsschutzgebiet” in my language, which is like the most unprotective “protection” category there is.

I’m from the states and I took this as “national park” (or perhaps state) land. It’s land intended for ecological conservation.
Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 15 hours ago
But in that case, pretending to be a blind prirate makes even less sense!
From the National Park Service website:
Thoroughly note it and report that stuff!

Try using context clues for a brief second
Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 14 hours ago
I did, even did some additional research trying to clear up ambiguous terms (what’s a “conversation area”?) and looked up rules in another country (US) that was referenced by a less confused person.
Meme still doesn’t make sense.
Should even be the complete opposite.
If you recognize it, report invasive species!
If there are hidden context clues I missed, please point them out to me, so that I will learn why I am the moron and not some of the others here that post stuff that just don’t make sense given the facts.
Is the original post perhaps satire?

It could mean anything from private land with an easement to prohibit building on it to a National Park, depending on context and jurisdiction. It’s just a non-specific term for “land that is conserved in some way.”
Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 14 hours ago
Yeah, I guessed that much myself by now.
So there is no deeper meaning but the meme is just crappily ill-defined and because of this actually doesn’t make sense.

The nomenclature is really messy across countries and even sub-country entities. The Portuguese language Wikipedia even highlights the mess:
From that I guess the restrictions associated with those spaces also change, and in some you aren’t supposed to remove local fauna and/or flora.
