It is said that the ancient people of Easter Island felled every tree on the island while erecting statues to their Gods and ancestors. Without the root systems the island’s topsoil crumbled and eroded, nutrients washed away, plants did not grow and eventually the whole ecosystem was wrecked. The island became all but uninhabitable and has not recovered in 400 years.
