In the United States, this exact same problem is happening with the invasive English Ivy and the Himalayan Blackberry.

They are choking up the trees and people do not always know to remove them.

This is a bit doomer of me to say, but does it matter much? Humans are going to destroy the rainforest eventually. I'd be concentrating more on photoplankton and zooplankton as that produce half of the air we breathe. Imagine if we made the oceans a better place for whales so they could fertilize even more air producing plankton.
