I admit that Rana catesbeiana does present a problem in southern Europe, but the majority of other non-indigenous herpetological species is certainly both ecologically and economically much less meaningful and “malignant” to the environment than examples from other groups. But considering that some species or even entire island faunas are meanwhile long-established members of equilibrate communities, some island communities being composed of over 90% non-indigenous species, I think that they certainly deserve an unlimited “permit of residence” and our efforts to protect them. In this respect one may even regard the occurrence of red-eared sliders in Central European waters with a little bit more composure. Trachemys scripta elegans Emys orbicularis
