The Robinson Crusoe islands (Chile) has a great diversity of flora and fauna can only find in that wonderful place and nowhere else in the world.
At present the fauna of the island is very threatened by other species introduced by settlers for its ancient and contemporary productive advantage, feeding and protecting their homes.
The Chilean government address this problem has reacted to exercise any changes.
The Juan Fernandez fire crown, a tiny, ginger hummingbird found solely on Robinson Crusoe Island, and one of the rarest birds in the world. He has lost territory in which to feed them because they have been domestic cats depredated greatly.
On the one hand, animal species have been introduced as goats, cattle, sheep, rats, mice horses and rabbits led to irreversible erosion and predators.
On the other hand, New plants arrived with immigrants and flowers skipped over garden fences to colonise disturbed land and oust vegetation which had evolved over 4 million years.
The consensus among conservation scientists is shoot the goats, poison the rats, grub out the bramble. The eradication program has caused great results in the islands of New Zealand, so it was decided to use in the Islands of Juan Fernandez.
