Pitcairn Islands - Henderson Island's wildlife

- Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
Henderson Island is located in the Pitcairn Island group. It lies near to the middle of the Pacific Ocean - the largest ocean on the planet. It is one of the most remote and inaccessible islands on Earth, and remains uninhabited. Due to its isolation it is little impacted by mankind and harbours several unique species of birds that occur nowhere else. Stewart McPherson made a rare visit to Henderson Island, and this film documents the wildlife that he encountered.

If you want to police it 24/7, you hire a few individuals like me who would clean up the beaches, kill any rats we see and force people back onto their Yachts to leave. Simple as that. You going to tell me no one wants a Job like that? I would protect a beautiful island like that with my life.
rgray318 ok I wouldn't like to be forced off the island when told by you. I already traveled pretty far just to get there, you're not gonna be in my way of exploring.
The island belongs to the territories of pitcairn islands so its not a right but privelege granted by the islands or british goverment. I hope effort is made in future to protect the island
rgray318 you are totally right, that's about the only way.
Police are not real people. They have no real authority. Thats why they are called Pigs. Soldiers are called Dogs. They are deceived with authority.
I don't want a job like that. I know many people that don't want you to have a job like that and thank goodness, right now, there are no jobs like that and you don't get to decide. Its sounding like you are the rat we need to clean up. The world doesn't belong to you. It belongs to everyone
they need to have a guardian living there who would keep out the sightseers and do rat eradication in there spare time
You mean eRATication???? hehe
It is a beautiful place
Especially if you're sick of the rat race. hehe
I.love this viy
tears...
5:29 they left the cameraman alone on the island
It wasn't a cameraman but a rat that was paid to finish recording.
@@pleasedontwhipmemaster2353 It might not have been a rat but, a man that was tired of the rat race in the rest of the more populated world. Or perhaps he was a RODENTured servant???? However, I admit that you made a RATher good joke. CongRATs! hehe
There's a good reason why the Polynesians left Henderson island it's because the Polynesian people believed the island was haunted by a giant octopus monster that would come on the island every full moon and devoured their women .
Sounds like aliens 😮
Bloody rats!!
Gorgeous Henderson 🌺💕🌴🌺💕🌴
I'm Polynesian and my grandfather use to tell us stories of that island and why our ancestors left . One belief was that the island was occupied by evil spirits which is bullshit of course. I think they left in search of bigger land.
This island looks really flat seen from above right? I wonder how it is to be there somewhere in the middle.
There's not enough fresh water there. They were probably drinking polluted water and got sick so maybe they figured they actually got sick because the island was cursed
They probably saw they they would eventually begin to starve as population grew so they left before that happened.
And now where are u living ?
@@chujcinaimie I live in Japan now I'm a scientist.
Heard this place is covered in plastic.
Not true. No plastic on Henderson . Just the rats . Once they're all eradicated the island would be pristine paradise🌺💕😫🌺😍
@@belllarosa They need to be eRATicated. hehe
im here because of the "I the heart of the sea" novel
Im here because of exploring google map
@@jpoctavo5995 Same 😆😆
@@jpoctavo5995 Rapture is close, and the tribulation, repent and follow Christ. Fake alien invasion will probably come, fake Messiah, wars, famine, cannibalism, and much more
@@jpoctavo5995 Sup... I'm also here because of google maps
05:27 Leaves camera man on the island in a hurry.
"where not picking up tell you solve the rat problem! Sorry Bud!!!!".... We... Had... a... deal...
Bro 2 more yirz end I will gou to dis island
Someday I will buy that island and rebuild it 🌈🎶😊👍
lol why buy it! just move there and never pay taxes ever again!
Taking away the best thing it has going for it.. no people to ruin it.
I have a question y don't u allow people to go there and look after the island and live there and keep it in a good condition
the bird probably flies south
I swear everytime I find out about a new remote island, it has a rat problem
I would love to live there and clean it
:)
They have leaved cameraman on the island
eatern by rats what a horrible way to go , rodants dig their needle like teeth under your skin then chew your skin/flesh off whilst keeping their teeth under your skin hurts like crazy ( my gerbil done that to me when i split a gerbil fight up)
Yikes! Sounds horrible!
There certainly appears to be some ancient city ruins on that island. Easter island is one that should be excavated as well.
It's not a mystery about how the bits find it.....they see really fuc%ing good. And they can fly. Seems pretty simple. They also live long af and learn quick.
how can i move there! this place would be prefect for me! abundant in food basically rat free!!! no one around! how can i move there :D
i want to go there too
@@jonathanschmidt5841 OK YOU CONVINCED ME! LETS START A COMMUNE!
@@10percent4DaBigGuy YES
There's rats literally all over it.. also LEAVE IT ALONE humans already damaged the environment of most of the world and already semi-damaged this place barely even touching it, mostly by dumping plastic in the ocean which washes up on Henderson's shore.
here some real news! THE RAPTURE IS CLOSE!
jacobs troubles is coming ( Israel formally declares war against Hamas ) If we Christians disappear soon, Your know the Lord has taken us Home! Now we need prayed for the Jews and to get many people saved as possible
Romans 10:9-13 KJV
that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Estoy interesado en comprar la isla, me gustaría saber si el régimen usurpador británico acepta mi oferta de 20 millones de dólares, a cambio de la propiedad absoluta de la isla?
PLEASE just leave it be... humans suck, just leave this ONE place alone to not be ruined, it should be a nature sanctuary.
And so we ban people from travelling to and from the island and in time everybody will have forgotten why . . . . . What a great idea - soon we will all die of sheer boredom or maybe just maybe we'll start all over again! Naw of course we won't! Tis funny how many years ago it was mentioned that th only people who ent there was the Pitcairn Islanders themselves for about a week a year - it just wasn't worth it otherwise . . . . . . . . clever eh?
If I was a multi-billionaire I would buy the Island put an airport on the island big enough to land a 747 my huge mansion, a small community, a hospital, a school, warehouses, greenhouses, a golf course, a resort, a deep pier, clean all the trash along it's shore, and the 3 other small islands in the area clean them up,, and kill off all the rats......
What a great idea! If I owned it I would just use it to farm rats, goats and feral cats
Why? You’re literally destroying the birds habitat, lmao they’re better off with rodents
Good thing you're not
Mankind has only settled one percent of the earth. There are millions of places like this. Glad to say.
Why does Britain own this island
