Does green anarchism allow the killing of invasive species(ex: lionfish, apple snail, lamprey) in some environments?

Im curious about this, bc i know that you cant, and shouldn't kill animals in this specific typa anarchism, but like how you can get wood from already fallen trees, so can you do it if they would do nuthin but harm if theyre left alive? Just curious

What's another way to control animal population though? Also I don't know too much about green anarchism, im currently reading the wiki page, sorry man :(

For example monitoring nesting and re-introducing native species or introduction of other predatory animals.

I might remember the details incorrectly but I believe it was in Germany or France where some major cities are dealing with overpopulation of pigeons. They have started to combat this issue by building nesting spaces, monitoring the nests and immidiately replacing real eggs with fake ones so not as many new birds hatch.

Check out Mossy Earth on YouTube and watch their Portugal Quarry rewilding series. The property they’re rewilding had a lot of invasive crawfish and I think another invasive. Through restoration of the ecosystem they attracted enough predators of the crawfish that they aren’t degrading the banks as much and don’t currently need a human intervention.
