Bird island

New Zealand only had birds on it when it was discovered. Since then foreign animals have taken over and the New Zealanders are trying to get at least some areas back to their original state. Islands seem to be pretty good for that because they're isolated. The stoat (aka weasel, I think) is particularly deadly for the birds. They think they've eliminated all the stoats from this island.
