Rodent eradication gives Lord Howe Biodiversity Boom
Lord Howe Island’s (LHI) natural environment is booming following the successful completion of one of the world’s largest rodent eradication programs.
In just over eighteen months the $15.5 million program has all but wiped out an estimated 300,000 plus rodents and other feral pests giving the island’s native plants and animals a fighting chance at revival.
