On remote Pacific Islands, CEMML helps eradicate invasive rats
In 2020, a joint project to eradicate invasive rats from the Wake Island Atoll was created between the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, CEMML, and other collaborators. Using poisoned bait and traps, as well as other preventative biosecurity measures, the project has experienced great success in the last four years. Rat populations have been radically reduced with the hope that they will be fully eradicated from the three islands that make up the atoll within another year.
