Demonstrative Pilot Actions to Fight against Invasive Plants on Easter Island

Establish demonstration plots at Ovahe Beach and Rano Kau Crater to trial methods of mechanical removal and control of invasive plant species to ensure the long-term survival of endemic plant species. Arrest the encroachment of invasive plants at important archeological sites and raise awareness amongst the local communities and islands authorities of the real threats that native flora face from invasive plants.
