		The description Cabrera gives of the new island on whose shores Venado and Hicotea land resembles nineteenth-century Cuba, and the two friends are quick to understand the new system of ownership in which "la tierra no era del que la tomaba y se decía su dueño, sino de quien la compraba" (47).
		The island is described first like a kind of paradise; the animals are sure that "ninguna desgracia podía ocurrirles bajo aquel cielo nuevo que era como una caricia" (47).
		Hicotea travels over the sea to reach the island of the story, but the Gallina is clearly Afro-Cuban, and her triumph thus becomes much more a celebration of the place of Afro-Cuban culture within Cuban society as a whole.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Evolution
		Volcanic islands and such as are separated from the continent by a sea or strait of great depth exhibit a fauna and flora which have certainly come from the neighbouring continents, but which at the same time possess features altogether peculiar to them.
		Similarly, on Madagascar there are 3000 endemic plant-species among 4100; on the Hawaian Islands, 70 endemic species of birds among 116; on the Galapagos, 84 among 108.
		They certainly form an excellent demonstration in favour of the proposition defended throughout this article: that such forms as the endemic species, which may well be compared with the races of the human species, were not directly created, but arose by some process of modification which was greatly facilitated by their complete isolation.

		These figures and data from other sources for islands which were not visited due to lack of time or finances, suggest that the breeding population in the Falklands is probably no larger than about 500 pairs.
		Such a programme is considered essential if the Islands are to fulfil their responsibility of ensuring the continued survival of species within the Islands (and very likely globally).
