Rabbits blamed for penguin deaths in landslide. :"The fragile sub-Antarctic world heritage area has been overrun with more than 100,000 rabbits in recent years, which are stripping the island bare of its plants."
Poor penguins. I know our conservationists and experts in biodiversity will be right onto it, but this will not be easy to repair since it is nesting season and the landslide has gone right onto the nesting site. This is horrible. The funding to eradicate the rabbits had not been approved and so the excess rabbits had damaged the environment and the massive rains just caved it in. This is also the sort of situation where experts from the world over offer their help, knowledge and support. I hope the damage can repaired sufficiently to save the other penguins and their chicks. Anyone for rabbit stew? Rabbit casseroled in Coke used to be the top taste winter food.
