Restoring the Galápagos
BBC Wildlife
|December 2023
Twelve locally extinct species are set to be reintroduced to Floreana Island, following the removal of invasive mammals
AN AMBITIOUS NEW PROJECT TO restore the ecosystem of Floreana Island in the Galápagos is underway. Plans include eradicating invasive mammals and reintroducing 12 missing species to the southern island - the sixth largest in the world famous archipelago.
Floreana has been dramatically altered by invasive mammals that were introduced by humans. Goats that had become feral were removed in 2007, after decimating the landscape through overgrazing, and the rats and feral cats that remain are now being removed using bait.
