There were thousands to millions when #Polynesians settled, & went extinct due to overhunting by 1445, along with their only other predator, the Haast's #Eagle, which relied on them for food. This again demonstrates the delicate balance of island ecosystems & how badly humans can affect them. (2/2)

Four Cook Island girls pose for the camera while lying on the beach. Cook Island society is well-known for friendliness, openness, and a gentle, easy-going spirit. The legendary generosity and charm of the Polynesian people quickly becomes obvious when you arrive in the Cook Islands.
