These concerns take into account the situation in Lake Victoria in Africa, where Nile perch (available in stores as Lake Victoria perch ) were introduced and rapidly caused the extinction of numerous indigenous species.

Now, both species were hunted to the brink of extinction by the early whalers, but the Southern right whales have rebounded a lot better because they're located in places farther away from human activity.

Furthermore, the strains of increased global populations, combined with income growth, are leading to rapid deforestation, depletion of fisheries, land degradation, and the loss of habitat and extinction of a vast number of animal and plant species.
