	Eco-evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Having investigated dozens of societies' path from energy glut to eventual collapse, he noted that there was no historical evidence that this could occur on such a scale as a human society, even on a relatively small and contained base of land.
		Easter Island Syndrome is the most commonly cited example of failure to achieve this so-called eco-evolution.

	An Easter Parable
		Maybe an unassuming place to teach anyone a lesson, much less a great lesson, Easter Island could easily have passed the whole human scale of time dismissed as a speck of rock in the middle of nowhere, where nothing important ever happened or could have happened – yet the name is common knowledge.
		Certainly, for the variant of Polynesian culture present at Easter Island it was horrible in its incineration of cultural progress, representing as it did a decadence and collapse of usual social structure which once had no need of it to settle disputes.
		By the time visitors came to the island in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and gave it the three names by which it is known today, its civilization had collapsed beyond hope of repair, and became easy prey to even further ruination by the depredations of rather merciless outsiders.

		This is the reason why we might care about ecocide, of course, which aside from being an aesthetic or ethical issue, is of course a matter of sheer survival for those who depend on the endangered ecosystem in any way.
		This last is a signal case often cited by ecologists, who refer to Easter Island Syndrome as evidence that human beings may be naturally inclined to ecocide, and do indeed shit where they live, as the popular expression (and the song Humans Are Stupid, by Mendelsohn Joe) suggests.
		The related concept of dieoff in population biology refers to the precipitous drop in any population once it has overgrazed its environment to the point where it is simply no longer viable as a population.

		A few of the famous Easter Island statues have been restored at Anakena and you could go for a swim, although the main reason you've come is the chance to trek back to Hanga Roa around the road-free northwest corner of the island.
		This is easily the island's most spectacular sight with 397 statues in various stages of completion lying scattered around the crater.
		Easter Island's moderate climate and scant vegetation make for easy cross country hiking, and you won't find yourself blocked by fences and private property signs very often.
