The United States parachuted 2,000 poisoned mice onto Guam to combat one of the world's most destructive snakes.
But behind this spectacular operation lies a much more troubling story.
On Guam, the brown tree snake has profoundly disrupted the ecosystem. Birds have disappeared, forests have changed, spiders have proliferated, and some tree species are finding it increasingly difficult to regenerate.
So, the authorities have developed a comprehensive control strategy: baited mice, traps, specially trained dogs, fencing, nighttime searches, and cargo monitoring.
And the most surprising thing is that the parachuted mice may not be the most important element in this battle.
The real challenge is preventing these snakes from leaving Guam and reaching other islands like Hawaii, where an invasion could have significant ecological and economic consequences.
Meanwhile, scientists are also trying to rebuild what has been lost. Birds once extinct on Guam are being gradually reintroduced to protected islands, while some areas are being secured to allow wildlife to survive again.
