    Conservationists have had a tight focus on invasive species for decades. These species cross ecological boundaries and establish themselves in new areas where they affect the environment indefinitely.

    Invasive species are easily comparable to the explorers of the old days. Explorers could be helpful by introducing new supplies, like horses, during the big Columbian Exchange. Explorers could also be largely negative, bringing disease and slavery into the nations they conquered. Explorers sometimes just set up trade relations and left well enough alone.
