10 Island Saving Tips for When You Travel
Seacology recently published a list of 10 things we can do to save the world’s islands while traveling.
From the press release:
[Islands] are actually among the world’s most threatened ecosystems. In the last 400 years, over 50 per cent of all plant and animal species extinctions including an astonishing 90 per cent of all bird species extinctions have occurred on islands. Seventy- two percent of all the plant and animal extinctions ever recorded in the U.S. have occurred in Hawaii, a state that makes up less than two-tenths of one per cent of the nation’s land area. In the last 400 years Lord Howe Island, a small island located in the Coral Sea between Australia and New Zealand, has had more bird species and subspecies extinctions than Africa, Asia and Europe combined.
Most of them are common sense, like being respectful to nature and responsible for your actions. However, it has some new and important tips for anyone thinking of going on vacation to an island any time soon! Check out the entire list here!
