- <p>This policy brief from the Center for Sustainable Development (CSD) at Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST), Kuwait, addresses the ethical and conceptual pitfalls of drawing parallels between non-native species and human migration. While the management of non-native species typically prioritises ecological impacts and biodiversity, migration is rooted in human rights, agency, and cultural dignity. The brief underscores that equating the two can oversimplify complex social realities and risk legitimising exclusionary or dehumanising policies.</p> <p>Key points include:<br>– Non-native species introductions are often accidental or economically motivated, whereas migration is a purposeful human act shaped by social, economic, and political drivers;<br>– Biosecurity and migration policies should not share the same frameworks, as each addresses distinct risks and responsibilities;<br>– Misapplied invasion biology terminology (e.g. ‘invasive’) in social contexts can dehumanise migrants and fuel harmful narratives;<br>– Clear, respectful language and cross-sector dialogue are essential to avoid conflating ecological and humanitarian concerns.</p> <p>The brief calls for careful distinctions between ecological and social systems, context-specific policymaking, and stronger collaboration between scientists and decision-makers in navigating the challenges of globalisation with both ecological integrity and human dignity in mind.</p>
