In the comments under the previous entry about the apocalypse in Iceland, the people did not mind that I told about the unique original - Easter Island. I'll tell you a little.
There is one beautiful and exotic place on our planet: Easter Island. Now it is a practically barren land triangle in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, slightly larger than Kostroma. But this was not always the case, and about 500 years ago this wilderness was the center of one of the most unusual civilizations in the world.
This civilization created its own pantheon, unique writing and remarkable moai monuments, but then it actually self-destructed, and by the time the Europeans arrived, only a couple of thousand inhabitants remained on the island, diving back into the Stone Age.
If you read the history of the settlement of the island (the first settlers arrived there on giant rafts, which were so huge by those standards that even "hare passengers" were buried there), then they had to go through a lot. For example, the first detachment of scouts that set off BEFORE the main "wagon train" disappeared into the ocean and for this received one of the iconic compositions on the island of 7 statues.

Since the island is under the protection of UNESCO - now the "black diggers" do not shine there either. The island maintains the inviolability of private property (many have a couple of statues in their own garden). And most importantly, there are squads of rangers who monitor the preservation of the external appearance of the island (and statues, of course).
Take care of the forest, our wealth.
