Passage:
Traditional conservation biology has long operated on the principle of strict restoration—attempting to return ecosystems to a pre-industrial baseline by aggressively eradicating non-native species. However, as climate change accelerates habitat disruption, this purist approach is increasingly untenable. Conservationists must pivot toward "functional ecosystems," where the focus is not on an organism's historical origin, but on the ecological role it performs. If an introduced species stabilizes a collapsing food web, its presence should be managed and integrated rather than reflexively eliminated.
Statement:
Based on the passage, the author would likely approve of a wildlife management initiative that protects a newly arrived, non-native insect species if that insect is proven to be the only reliable pollinator for an endangered native plant facing extinction.
