But still, has there in history ever been any instance of releasing a non-indigenous species to solve a problem that has ended beneficially to both man, and the local biosphere?
The study said that in the past 700 to 800 years since the country was colonised, it has experienced massive invasion by non-indigenous species, resulting in catastrophic biodiversity loss.
Forest habitats are threatened by burning and natural fires, afforestation with non-indigenous species, as well as illegal cutting of trees especially along the rivers.
However, as of 2001, the zoo kept a variety of non-indigenous species of animals, including 400 given as gifts by heads of state and other foreign citizens.
