Summary Wildlife on the isolated South Sea islands largely evolved separately, creating unique, often bizarre species. However exposure to immigrant species, especially since the arrival of humans, can wipe and increasingly does them out, even completely. Human overexploitation and competition with domesticated species, like pigs, can be as detrimental to the ecosystem. Easter Island's Rapa Nui culture proves how quickly a fragile paradise can become a wasteland.
