The potential danger of this aspect of globalization is starkly illustrated through the spread of human diseases like HIV AIDS, mad cow disease, bird flu and swine flu, but invasive plants and animals are also having a devastating impact on native biodiversity.
Potencijalna opasnost ovog aspekta globalizacije u potpunosti je ilustrirana kroz širenje ljudskih bolesti poput HIV/AIDS-a, kravljeg ludila, ptičje i svinjske gripe, no invazivne biljke i životinje također imaju devastirajući učinak na prirodnu bioraznolikost.
