Oh god, keep the bamboo and kudzu in their native environments. The ecosystem has been through enough!
Eh, ecosystems adapt. Most "invasive" species made their way to new lands on their own. The problem is when humans consciously introduce a new species with a purpose, knowing that it dominates against something the idiot human doesn't like.
There are only really a few big rules to keep things going. Don't get rid of the sole predator for a populous prey animal. Don't introduce prey animals to an environment that reproduce faster than they can be eaten. Don't plant clones, diversify genetics within a species(looking at you, orchards and tree farms).
Seems like we should add kudzu bugs and giant pandas to North America, and all will be well 😄
And also - most critically. When introducting a predator to hunt a specific populous prey, ensure that one of them isn't diurnal while the other is nocturnal.
Oof, yes!
The bamboo is for the ruling class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_torture
We're doing this to save the ecosystem from the data centers, silly! Let's goooo!
In order to save the ecosystem, you must be willing to kill the ecosystem!
