And sheep and goats did/still do terrible ecological damage in post-Colonia Mexico -not withstanding their economic importance to poor farmers.
Some good news- "On Guadalupe Island, after the eradication of goats recruitment of three endemic trees increased from zero to 150,000 individuals".

And donโ€™t get me started on โ€˜iconicโ€™.

(OK- I am a pedant ๐Ÿ™)
