There's never balance in nature. Something's always on the way out while something else is always on the way in. When this change is slow, people confuse it for balance.
Surely there's a difference between, say, black swans being introduced to Britain and rabbits being introduced to Australia? Black swans aren't disrupting the British ecosystem (that I know) whereas rabbits down under are a serious pest.
