Except France has overseas territories that include places the Lion Fish isn’t invasive. You can’t really call it a region, it includes parts of Europe, Africa, the Americas, and the Western Pacific.

Florida would love to send you back all of these invasive fucking lionfish destroying our ecosystem. They'll be dead and from one of our lionfish tournaments, but you'll have plenty for your genetic sequencing

I thought it was a funny choice as well, but they are beautiful and attention grabbing, and as the other comment said, they are native to other French territories

I mean yeah probably, but no one makes money out of protecting over exploiting.

I’m only here because that’s the fish that was blended in Deauce Biggalow.

The image caption states that they are also studying the impact of invasive species in these biomes. Definitely the right choice in context, but yeah, looked dumb to me too.

Game reserves and eco tourism in general are exceptions. Not generally winning that battle though.

France has land in the outh pacific and Indian Ocean? Those are the only 2 places that natively have Lion Fish.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.
Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.worldatlas.com/geography/french-overseas-territories.html

Maybe stopping the killing of tens of thousands of dolphins would be a better place to start?
