| First I did not say we should keep ecosystems stable, I don't believe that. There is a difference between non-native and invasive species. Non-native species: These are species that have been moved from their native habitats to a new environment, usually as a result of human activities. Non-native species can be any type of organism, including plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria. Invasive species: These are non-native species that not only survive in their new environments but also reproduce rapidly and spread widely, causing harm to the local ecosystem, economy, or human health. They can out-compete native species for resources, alter habitats, and disrupt ecosystem functions. Here is a study on Stinknet in the Sonoran Desert. If you read through it I think most would say is qualifies as invasive in this environment
