Laysan Island Rabbit Release: A Cautionary Tale of Extinction
The introduction of rabbits to Laysan Island in 1903 led to the extinction of three unique bird species. German immigrant Max Schlemmer's decision for business and entertainment resulted in devastating ecological consequences. Following this, President Theodore Roosevelt established the Hawaiian Islands Bird Reservation to protect remaining wildlife, and by 1923, federal authorities eradicated the invasive rabbits. Conservation efforts continue to restore the island's habitat and reintroduce native species.
