The Farallon Islands, which lies 30 miles west of San Francisco, is closed to the public. But it is home to one of the largest seabirds colonies outside of Hawaii and Alaska. Unfortunately, rats now threatened the fragile ecosystem of the islands. To restore the natural island habitat, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is proposing a rat eradication plan that will drop pounds of poison on the island. This proposal has been met with some pushback.
