L’introduction d’espéces non indigènes (exotiques) dans des régions où elles n’existaient pas auparavant s’explique par de multiples raisons, telles que : le développement économique, le perfectionnement des techniques de chasse et de pêche, ou les habitudes culturelles conservées par des immigrants. Les dommages causés par ce phénomène aux systèmes naturels dépassent de loin ses bienfaits. L’introduction, délibérée ou non, et la prolifération d’espèces exotiques dans des régions où elles étaient jusque-là inconnues a souvent eu des effets nuisibles sur les espèces végétales et animales indigènes, et sur l’homme. 2, record 4, French, - esp%C3%A8ce%20non%20indig%C3%A8ne%20nuisible

Our environmental doors are a creative and important alternative to standard door construction. This unique product line uses wood materials that lumber mills typically discard by burning. Our doors are made from a reformed product, known as medium density MDF, to create door panels that accept our beautiful design work. Executive Door is proud to be part of the solution in eliminating the burning of wood waste. Environmental door panels do not require the harvesting of even one additional tree. 3, record 5, English, - environmental%20door
