The author attempts to reframe the classical distinction in conservation biology between native and invasive species by referring to migration and settlement of nonhuman beings as diasporas. She uses the introduction of Canadian beavers in Chilean Tierra del Fuego in 1947 as a case study.
Once introduced to promote the fur industry, beavers in Tierra del Fuego are now deemed an invasive population to be eradicated.
