Henderson Island

　　   Situated in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, Henderson Island is one of the few atolls in the world that boasts an undisturbed and well-preserved ecosystem. Its isolated environment provides valuable insights for the study of island evolutionary dynamics and natural selection. Today, Henderson Island is renowned for its 10 endemic plant species and 4 unique bird species.

　　   Henderson Island is the largest island in the Pitcairn Islands group in the Pacific Ocean and one of the most remote islands in the South Pacific, covering an area of 3,700 hectares. The island remains largely unaffected by development, primarily due to its remote location and harsh natural environment. It is one of the best-preserved examples of an elevated coral atoll ecosystem in the world. Compared to other coral atolls, it has experienced relatively low levels of disturbance, which makes it particularly notable. The International Biological Program, the 15th Pacific Science Congress, and individual scientists have all highlighted the importance of Henderson Island.
