Should add sunchokes/Jerusalem artichoke in there somewhere, as they are food. I don’t think kudzu is? Lets replace that one.
Sunchokes spread like crazy as long as they have full sun, and are super difficult to eradicate, but are thwarted by being planted in sunny clearings in densely wooded areas. They can’t spread into the shade.
Make the land difficult for development, but useful for the community!

Oh god, keep the bamboo and kudzu in their native environments. The ecosystem has been through enough!

Eh, ecosystems adapt. Most “invasive” species made their way to new lands on their own. The problem is when humans consciously introduce a new species with a purpose, knowing that it dominates against something the idiot human doesn’t like.
Ecosystems are quite adaptable. There are only really a few big rules to keep things going. Don’t get rid of the sole predator for a populous prey animal. Don’t introduce prey animals to an environment that reproduce faster than they can be eaten. Don’t plant clones, diversify genetics within a species(looking at you, orchards and tree farms).

Seems like we should add kudzu bugs and giant pandas to North America, and all will be well 😄

The bamboo is for the ruling class en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_torture

We’re doing this to save the ecosystem from the data centers, silly! Let’s goooo!

In order to save the ecosystem, you must be willing to kill the ecosystem!
