Abstract
THE Pacific Islands have long been at the vanguard of the battle for our planet’s ecological sustainability, including biodiversity in this time of the Anthropocene. It was on these islands that the world began to understand the devastating impacts of invasive species, direct or indirect passengers on our invasion waves, on endemic animals, maladapted to avoid predation (Elton 1958). Devastating statistics on island extinctions are the frontispiece of any textbook on conservation biology.
