Imagine hearing a birdsong that vanished four decades ago. 🐦
On Palmyra Atoll, the sihek (Guam kingfisher) just laid its first wild eggs since the 1980s, because the island is finally free of the brown tree snake that wiped it out back home.
A thousand miles away, Fiji’s “Cast Away” island is turning green again now that goats and rats are gone, giving its rare crested iguanas room to thrive. 🦎🌱
These victories share a simple formula: remove the invaders, guard the borders, let nature rebound. Small islands make it possible, and the lessons scale up for coasts, cities,and even whole continents.
🌍 Invasive species fuel 60% of extinctions, but the Pacific is proving they don’t have to win.
