NewzThe Caribbean island of Redonda has experienced a significant ecological recovery following the removal of 6,000 invasive rats and goats. The project, which aimed to restore the island's natural habitat, resulted in an eightfold increase in the lizard population and a twentyfold increase in vegetation cover.
This environmental restoration marks a successful intervention in managing invasive species to protect native biodiversity. The rebound of flora and fauna indicates a rapid ecological response to the removal of non-native animals that had previously degraded the island's landscape.
