I think this is a problem as old as the world. I was recently reading archives of the Jurassic News from roughly 165 million years ago, and I found a very interesting discussion between dinosaurs of that age. They were discussing how these new flying species, commonly referred to as birds, are a problem because they fly, move at vast distances and spread non-native plants by eating seeds and crapping them miles away.

Yes I don't disagree, but I think it's the same as everything related to topics of climate change. For example, the global increase in temperature itself isn't what's bad. We've had temperatures this high before and it led to global rainforests. The bad part is how fast it's happening and all the confounding factors causing a runaway effect

Perhaps if done carefully we could eco-engineer earthworms back into north american soil ecologies. But it's not being done carefully
