TL;DR Summary

The island of Mauritius is facing the threat of mass extinction due to the loss of native animal species that help plants spread their seeds. The extinction of many plants and animals on the island could lead to the disappearance of fruits growing on them, creating new problems for the island's small ecosystem. The introduction of new animal species to the island cannot replace the function of extinct animals in the ecosystem. The Mauritian fruit bat is a unique and endangered animal that plays a vital role in the ecosystem, but authorities are actively killing them. To prevent the loss of native plants, conservation projects focused on protecting the remaining animals and plants are necessary.
