Thanks for posting Hix. Very interesting look at the rat eradication effort. Removal of invasive species from islands seems to be catching fire around the world.

Great news. Hopefully also ways can be found to get rid of mongoose, cats, goats, pigs mice, brown snakes and so on from other islands !
