Easter Island was the small scale ecosystem that showed humans are foolish animals. Deforestation and the introduction of rats collapsed their world. @Eulimnadian
@Bix @Eulimnadian Reading about Farmers Insurance leaving FL & was for some reason reminded of this & human contributions to the Dust Bowl, dunno why

Easter Island was, also, a small world that showed that humans are evil.
Wiki: European arrival in 1722, the island's population was estimated to be 2,000 to 3,000. European diseases, Peruvian slave raiding expeditions in the 1860s, and emigration to other islands such as Tahiti further depleted the population, reducing it to a low of 111 native inhabitants in 1877
