ai generated text

The Campbell Islands are a group of subantarctic islands in New Zealand, located about 600 km south of Stewart Island, with a total area of 113 km2. The islands consist of one main island, Campbell Island, and several smaller islets, and are part of the Antipodes Subantarctic Islands tundra ecoregion. The islands were under threat from introduced mammals such as cats, rats, sheep, and cattle, but restoration efforts began in 1970 and included the removal of feral animals and the use of rodenticide-laced bait to eradicate rats. The islands are now considered an Important Bird Area due to their significance as a breeding site for several species of seabirds, including the endemic Campbell teal and Campbell snipe.learn more on wikipedia
