Easter Island Extinction

Propose a managment scheme that would have saved the Easter Islanders from extinction. Make sure that you consider both the "birth" and the dead of the Christmas Everee. A number of contributory reasons have led to the extinction of the island's forests. Locals who were on Easter Island did not spare their natural resource.

Little by little they used more and more wood to construct houses and to transport the huge rock faces around the island. Failing to conserve their natural resource, they ran out of them because they had used them all and not substituted them with new-growing. Tree die more because they were not supposed to be alive.

The mortality rate rose as more saplings were felled and the countryside became uninhabitable. The birthrate was influenced by the small number of available saplings. As there are fewer saplings there are fewer new saplings and their distribution is hampered by people.

Once the stock of indigenous species began to fall, the care taken with natural ressources would have prevented them from dying out. All the wood used would be felled so that the wood could multiply and grow. Felling would reduce and this would help both the birthing and the deaths of some of the older plants, as more will contribute to the stand.

Diamant compares the decline of civilisation on Easter Island with the depletion and depletion of resources on the world. When we listen to Diamond's warnings, what can we do to stop a demographic collapse of the whole people? Explain how your proposal covers at least two of the following four environmental concepts: fertility and mortality rate, sustainability, Biotic and Abiotic environments, bio-diversity.

Comparing it with the whole planets is somewhat extrem, as Easter Island is an island in isolation and too small to be regarded as an appropriate sampling area. As on Easter Island, the similarities are that it took us a while to realise our influence on our country. But we have more technologies and have become conscious of our problems, which the locals on Easter Island did not have and did not do.

In order to avoid a demographic decline, we must become attentive consume. When we use our natural ressources sparingly, we have no power or ressource crises in our hand. We could improve our sustainability if we use our natural ressources wisely, because if there are more ressources, the planet can take in more people.

Biological diversity would grow because we would stop destroying resource-types. Careful care not to over-hunt is essential for the survival of biological diversity. By regulating it, we could improve our sustainability and enhance our biological diversity. Jared Diamond tells how the island was already exhausted when the first discoverers tripped over its banks and interact with the Rapa Nui.

There were no more saplings and no progressive nautical techniques at that time. We have managed to do without the tree that provided most of their power and resource. They were a very important part of the Easter Island eco-system and I want to know how they survived after they sank.
