I also have to dissagree with this sentiment.
Introduced species such as foxes, cats, Gambusia (the so called 'plague minnow')
have far wider impacts than logging / mining and even pollution. It is difficult
to find an area which has not been affected by these.
I can think of many animal species which
have either become extinct or had there numbers dramatically reduced by
introduced predators (such as foxes, cats and Gambusia), but cannot think
of any for logging or mining. Competition for hollows by mynas etc only
makes the situation worse.
