we have no one to blame but ourselves

I've been thinking about this. To be quite honest, "invasive" species are part of what drives evolution and there have been plenty of instances of new species coming into an environment and changing the bio-diversity. Not that I condone an indifferent attitude to the situation, but provided that the overall health of the ecosystem is preserved, maybe the "invasive" species can bring something new to the biodiversity of that ecosystem and in several decades, something might have them figured out.

@ysk8er I agree, and that's why we should be careful about what we release, but I don't think we should take the attitude that it's unnatural or that this is about some greater good beyond our own interests.

@baryonyx550 I highly agree with your idea sir, however it seems that invasive species for the most part, while they may serve as a catalyst for biodiversity and new ecological relationships, are causing great economic damage as well.

@baryonyx550 they aren't called invasive species for no reason, if you say they drive evolution, your making the false assumption that native species will survive the invasion. To name them invasive species, they must be highly adaptive as well as being a strong competitor, they also reproduce extremely fast. Most of the time, native species do not survive the invasion because they do not have to genetic variability nor the time to evolve quickly enough to form resistance against the invasion.
