They Eradicated All the Mice on the Island… One Year Later, the Result Shocked Everyone

Описание: How Farmer Eradicated Millions of Mice on the Island in one year | Wildlife Documentary reveals the true story of how 200,000 invasive house mice overwhelmed a pristine sanctuary and forced conservationists into a battle for survival. These tiny mice hunted seabirds 300 times their size, devoured chicks alive, and drove species like the wandering albatross, parakeet, pipit, and snipe to the brink of extinction. On a remote island of 5,000 acres, a farmer-led team of 13 experts executed an eradication plan called the Million Dollar Mouse project. Using helicopters, they dropped 65 tons of brodifacoum poison in winter storms, knowing that missing even one pregnant female could restart the plague within months. Costing $680,000, this conservation mission demanded precision rarely seen in invasive species control. After 18 months of monitoring with trained dogs, the verdict was clear—every mouse was gone. What followed was a stunning recovery: insect life increased by 300%, parakeets rebounded by 400%, and seabird populations surged. Advanced DNA tests later revealed the mice had evolved into super predators, and the island had been only a decade from total collapse. This behind-the-scenes documentary shows how invasive species change ecosystems, why eradication was essential, and what the farmer and his team discovered that changed conservation science forever. A rare wildlife film where determination, science, and scale unite to save an island’s future.
