Scientists tracking the spread of invasive species have identified an alarming threat to the global ecosystem. Unlike other invasive species such as Asian Carp, Soybean Rust, or Zebra Mussels, this threat is truly global, risking world-wide environmental collapse.

"The DNA from these things seems to be everywhere we go," said an anonymous United Nations Environmental Program Director.

"We're finding the indicators in 100% of all samples, even in the most remote and pristine areas. What's scary is that this organism disrupts the food chain, causing extreme devastation. It can turn pristine natural habitats into deserts in a matter of decades."

The species, a type of primate, has spread to all corners of the earth.
