Protecting habitats from invasive species is one of those areas in which our "hearts" may conflict with the science (of conservative biology)
Unfortunately, it's often public opinion that drives what species are favoured for conservation, & which are not (e.g., because many wildlife organisations are charities, funded by public donations)
Also, in the UK, it's often public opinion & farmer lobby groups that prevents rewilding (e.g., of over grazed sheep farm land)
