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 3, French, - esp%C3%A8ce%20non%20indig%C3%A8ne%20nuisible
