Abstract
This paper is an answer to the Caplat and Coutts forum about our previous paper “The need for flexibility in conservation practices: exotic species as an example”. We precise here why we proposed to consider exotic species as well as indigenous species in the reconnection framework in human-modified environments. One argument is that consistent and understandable arguments must be used in the communication from scientists to the public, in order not to decrease the gap between science and society.
