From the Abstract: "The problems associated with exotic animals in natural areas including national parks, were examined. Included in this review were summaries of occurrences, effects on the native ecosystem, and control measures attempted. A population of non-native mountain goats has been established in Olympic National Park, Washington. National Park Service policy requires control or elimination of exotic species where feasible. This study evaluated potential control options through computer simulation and field studies."
