by Rapa Nui’s marine ecosystem is unique, with many endemic species that occur nowhere else in the world. This ecological distinctive community has been able to form due to the island’s extreme remoteness: Rapa Nui is situated 2000 km from the closest Polynesian Islands and 4000 km off the South

Rapa Nui is known for its cultural and archaeological heritage, but beyond the iconic moai, the island is home to unique and fragile ecosystems that require urgent attention.
