Non-native lionfish in Florida are an absolute menace on the reefs, and have no predators other than humans. It's a real problem with many species around the world. They do real damage to the native ecosystem. They aren't winning because they are the fittest, but because nothing has a chance to adapt to an environmental shock before the damage is too much to recover.

I stand corrected:)
How about those pythons in the Everglades? Humans messed up the environment by introducing these giant, predatory snakes. I guess it's only right that humans interfere to try to reset the balance. Good luck with that!
And then there's the Everglades themselves, where humans decided nature needed to be "fixed," and also purely by coincidence, "reclaim" land for the sugar cane industry in agriculture. Big government spending destroyed the environment.
