In a perfect world then yes, but not if the reason they are declining is habitat destruction, hunting, etc. What would be the point? In that case surely having a healthy population somewhere is better than no population at all.
Yes quite true, but would a healthy population where they arent supposed to be be better than nothing if it just caused another problem for that countries native birds?
A healthy population of Mandarin here is certainly better than non at all in the world provided it isnt causing other problems(which would appear to be the case at the moment) but would simply swapping one problem for another be the answer if it was found that Manadrins did cause a problem to our native birds? In my opinon no it wouldnt, the best thing then(if not always) would be to look at the real cause of the problem,habitat destruction etc.
