 Another main reason for the loss of biodiversity are invasive alien species: For example New Zealand lost 40% of it’s own bird species and even 40% more are threatened- since settlers brought their own European species to these countries (cf. Forum Biodiversität, 2002, p. 3).
 These movements of population and genetic material increase with the development of technology, trade, specialization in agriculture and environment- trade and homogenization in all dimensions (unintentional as well in biodiversity) are main thoughts of globalization (cf. Olorode, 2004, p. 532).
-Up to this part the ambivalence between globalization and change of biodiversity become clear. The next part of this text focuses mainly on the solutions or possibilities to this threat- and in which way a further globalization for example in environmental politics is needed to face this challenge.
