That's just one solution, appropriate for certain kinds of casters.

Ooh, I think I could easily buy that in a game. Slightly touching on MtA and "paradox" or tao.
But native or merely extant could still matter. Invasive species are sometimes useful and sometimes scourges out-competing more valuable natives.
Here in Oregon, nutria increase in numbers while beavers decrease. Invasive blackberries choke out native plants.
