Answer:

Since strong sun exposure damages the body, the solution was to evolve skin that was permanently dark so as to protect against the sun's more damaging rays. Melanin, the skin's brown pigment, is a natural sunscreen that protects tropical peoples from the many harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays.

The erythema response of skin to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), i.e., the sunburn reaction, has long been known to correlate with skin color.

It’s helpful for the time being, however it doesn’t help for the long term.  Introducing a predator, is like using 1 new species, to get rid of another new species. If you get rid of the invasive species, you still have to deal with the new predator. Hunting competitions can help, however they would only really work for animals. I don’t think hunting for plants would arouse much interest. Preventing them from invading a new environment would make it so that the damage will never be done...
