Mice accidentally introduced to a remote island near Antarctica 200 years ago are breeding out of control because of climate change, and they are eating seabirds and causing major harm in a special nature reserve with “unique biodiversity.”

200年前意外引入南極洲附近一個偏遠島嶼的老鼠，由於氣候變遷化而失控繁殖，牠們正在吃海鳥，並在具有「獨特生物多樣性」的特殊自然保護區造成重大傷害。

Now conservationists are planning a mass extermination using helicopters and hundreds of tons of rodent poison, which needs to be dropped over every part of Marion Island’s 115 square miles (297 square kilometers) to ensure success.
