Some plants from Pandora, such as the aforementioned ones, have unique qualities that Earth does do not which could be used to undo some of the damage. There's a difference between 'colonisation by foreign wildlife' and use of biological controls, which are done today with great success.

Where are the places with biological controls? This is actually an honest question, I've never heard of it. I HAVE heard of species introduced to BE controls, and then they've turned around and become problems themselves. Like the cane toad.

There are also the logistics of trying to reverse the damage anyway - and with all the effort of knocking down buildings to make room, importing soil from where-ever, you might as well try to use the original flora, even if you have to genetically modify it. Which they can do. If they can create Avatars, they can fortify Earth plants. Just because they apparently haven't done this doesn't mean that they can't. It'd be better than introducing alien species, at any rate, because that's not FIXING nor restoring, that's creating something entirely new.

If that's what they want, so be it, but they should at least be up front about it and not pretend that foreign species will restore things just because they are maybe the same colour.
