DESCRIPTION:*Dr Mark Collins* will explain that when Floreana erupted from
  the Pacific Ocean\, currents and winds brought plants and animals to its 
 shores – and humans too. People left a legacy of feral cattle\, pigs\, g
 oats\, cats and rats\, as well as invasive birds and flies. Ecosystems wer
 e destroyed and today\, 55 species are threatened\, a dozen are lost and o
 ne\, the Floreana Giant Tortoise\, is extinct. But the Floreana Mockingbir
 d and ten other species survive nearby and can be reintroduced. An ambitio
 us and ground-breaking five-year programme to save Floreana aims to restor
 e its ecosystems and work alongside the human inhabitants towards sustaina
 ble livelihoods.
