Just a thought though... if the island is indeed the property of the indigenous peoples wouldn't 'they' have the mandate to decide such action..particularly if all indications are that the flora/fauna is identical to surrounding islands that have a history of up to 60 years of mining?
Last thing anyone with any appreciation of flora/fauna (such as myself) want to do is deliberately destroy and endanger endemic species/habitat..particularly without a plan.
What happens if there is no specific species endemic to, and specific to Irvine? Is there no governmental/statutory procedure/process in place to recognise identical flora/fauna and to then act accordingly, safe in the knowledge that drawn out processes are indeed not required in such instances?
Similar to academic 'Recognised Prior Learning' (RPL) where a student demonstrates knowledge/experience thus not being required to go through a process he/she has already achived?
Just thinking out loud guys ;)
