Synopsis
:

A State of Emergency and Environmental War have been declared in Hawaii. The Islands are under attack by — tree frogs!

Panic in Paradise is an eye-opening expose of the Coqui Frog War, its motives, biases, lies, distortions, and hidden agendas. It is also an indictment of the Invasion Biology agenda itself, a destructive form of environmental extremism that poses the real threat to the environment.

“Singer and Grismaijer have done environmentalism a great service by providing a detailed examination of an invasion hysteria — the war on the coqui frog in Hawaii. They chronicle the threat inflation” and fallacies of officialdom and the media’s complicity in creating a public hysteria, and they follow the money exposing the conflicts of interest at the heart of the coqui wars. Calling for an end to this destructive and unwinnable environmental war, they point the way towards making peace with an ever-changing nature, by making peace war? a tiny, singing frog.”
— David Theodoropolous, Conservation Biologist, Author, Invasion Biology: Critique of a Pseudoscience

“All things considered, the ubiquitous Common Coqui is the darling of the Puerto Rican countyside and cityscape. Local ecologists do not share the qualms about the species that perturb some of their Hawaiian peers. They are also discovering that the just-so anti-coqui mythology spun by invasion biologists is a ploy couch condemnation of the beastie in ‘scientific’ terms. We are indebted to Singer and Grismaijer for exposing their hidden agenda and brazen conflicts 01 interest.”
— Frank Watlington, Ph.D., Professor of Biogeography, University of Puerto Rico
