Humans really are a form of virus. Why does anyone needs to settle on these islands? Why can't we let nature have a bit of space without us?

We are destroying our planet, soon enough we will cause our own extinction!

As the last member of his specie, maybe cloning a female out of his DNA may be the only option... 8-)
Even if it's illegal and barely possible... Better chances anyway than trying to find another one... :S :'(

#2 completely agree with you. a large number of animals and plants have become extinct since humans evolved with the number especially high in modern times.
It is very tragic what we have become, so detached from the world and just the butchers and murderers of life for our own personal gain. Honestly, we deserve extinction :(

If they have been suffering as long as humans have lived there then why do people live there? Like how hard could it be to gtfo from there.

well, #7 things sound easy when you don't have to actualy do it, and sometimes they are easier to do then to say when you have to do it...
like: getting out of there is easy to say hard to do
and: just building your house there and knowingly destroy some piece of land on which the animal depends, is easier to just do it without talking about consequences...

its interesting. humans have been on the island for twenty years and the animals are still tame to them. I think this is for two reasons. Firstly it doesnt seem to be very developed, industry etc is the mark of human territory, its danderous to animals and they are considered pests.
The second reason is that at the point that these species were introduced to humans, millions of years into our evolution, humans did not have to rely on the food chain. As long as we have no interest in killing them they will have no fear of us.
They dont have to be domesticaed because they have not yet developed the instinct that humans are dangerous.
Once those guys living there get hungry though, they are probably going to wipe out a lot of unwitting species:(

I'm not saying its not us humans fault. but this turtle can probably live for 100+ years. and people have only lived on the island for the last 20. the conclusion must be that the turtle and his family allready was in trouble before humans got to the island?

But yeah, we people dont do much good. some people do but most of us live in ignorance and dont care as long as we fell good right now. we can deal with the consequences another time.

Im not much better then the rest of you so im guilty myself im sad to say :\
