[MAIPC] Ethnically introduced invasive species (Clarification)

[HTI Gmail]

I guess I need to clarify.  I am not interested in specific plants. I am 
interested in reports of recreational. educational, religious sites 
where non native species have been introduced to make it seem "more like 
home" and that caused ecological damage.

Think embassies. But they are not my specific concern.  They are more 
likely to understand the issues involved.

More to the point are privately organized ethnic organizations (and yes 
this is the correct way to phrase the issue) that buy a tract of land as 
a retreat or whatever and then without thinking they introduce plants 
and animals that make the tract more like the home country.  Then those 
species cause damage to the surrounding ecological system.

Any reports on this?  I did find something in NYC about non native 
turtles that were released as part of a cultural ceremony.
