The PROBLEM IS, there is no natural habitat for native species(habitat specific) to live it. Its been modified by human development. Which mades is more suitable for non-native species(generalists).

No offense, but it does not take a brain surgeon to understand, native species, require native habitat. Without that, they cannot exsist. It really is not the evasives or ferals that is the problem. Its the humans changing the enviornment, and expecting species that florished in native habitats, to florish in non-native(new/different) habitats.

Its simply naive and foolish to think native species will live in non-native, non-natural habitats.

So what we have here is, dumb people, playing dumb games, and of course blaming everything but themselves. Its not the fault of invasives or ferals, its the fault of the people destroying the habitat, then expecting the species that use to live there to change what they "are" to fit this new "deranged" habitat.

I cannot help but believe, if these folks are biologists, they are the worlds stupidist biologists. Most likely they are politicians and as such, there actions are perfect for them.

With politicians, there is no need for a result, its the effort that is of value. So as long as they are making an effort that somehow can be called or linked to "conservation" their job is done. There is never an intend to allow native species to exsist there or return. If there was, they ALREADY know, you must have native habitat to return to or to exsist in. Not so cheerful bullbeans.
