Are you solely focused on plants here? Invasive species can also apply to animals. Invasive aquatic species have decimate local animals, and we didn't necessarily create those environments. There's also invasive plants in these aquatic systems as well.

Burmese pythons in Florida is another example of a pristine environment full of predators invaded (and modified) with no effort.
