The association decided to gather several of the embarrassing topics related to nature conservation that are discussed here from time to time, and group them under one heading: no brains, no worries. Over the years it was decided that the name of the section would be "no brains, yes worries," thus emphasizing that we are looking to the future and that we wish to learn from the cases described. It should be made clear that this is an expression commonly used by young people, referring to foolish acts: to remove any doubt, its use here is in no way intended to imply any intellectual inferiority on the part of any of the officeholders mentioned here*. It appears that cases concerning the treatment of invasive species will star in this section: implementing advanced monitoring methods requires the integration of knowledge from a vast range of fields. When enforcement and implementation bodies are under the crushing pressure of social, economic, and political forces, we can expect to witness many acts of folly.
