Summary Introduction
To determine: The comparison between the impacts of removing introduced species and of reestablishing top predators.
Introduction: The cause of endangerment of a species helps to design a recovery plan. The factors responsible for the extinction of the species, such as overharvesting, habitat loss can be restricted, and the preventive measures are taken to protect the threatened species and restore the habitat.
