This multi-print publication investigates the devastating effects invasive weeds have on Australia’s native plant species and ecosystems. Structured as a series of three case files, the publication explores individual invasive weeds and their impact on biodiversity loss. Each case file acts as both documentation and metaphor — positioning the weeds as environmental “criminals” whose actions threaten the delicate balance of native habitats.

Through the visual language of investigation reports, evidence logs, and ecological records, the design aims to reframe environmental degradation as a form of ecological crime. The use of layered textures, archival-style typography, and illustrative documentation evokes a sense of urgency and accountability.

By merging scientific research with storytelling, this publication seeks to raise awareness of the silent yet severe damage invasive species inflict on Australia’s landscapes. It invites readers to view weeds not as harmless background plants, but as active agents in the decline of biodiversity — urging collective responsibility for protection and restoration of native ecosystems.
