Located about 600 miles from Australia’s east coast, Lord Howe Island is a World Heritage-listed paradise teeming with endemic animal and plant species. It is the only place in the world where cold and tropical ocean currents meet, creating a unique ecosystem that is the last refuge for thousands of seabirds that gather there to breed. Despite threats from invasive species, the intruders have been successfully eradicated, allowing the island’s native flora and fauna to recover and thrive.
