Hi all,
Could we maybe agree on this?
1) Many species, if established in the wrong place, can do a great deal
of damage.
2) Any species, in the right place, can do a great deal of good.
3) In order to decide whether a particular place is a good one for a
particular species, it's necessary to know a good deal about both the
place and the species. Snap judgements in either direction are rarely a
good idea.
