Well, who is a non-native? If it walked across the Bering Sea land
bridge a few thousand years ago, does it have a higher moral value than
if it hopped a ride on the bilges of a cargo ship in 1957?
If you want to isolate the rainforest until mankind has had time to
completely inventory all the species and test them to see if they are the
next cure for malaria or an exploitable raw material, well, now you have
my sympathy.
