Looking at population and development from the rise and fall of Easter Island: Easter Island was discovered: 1722 April Character: The origin of the name of Dutch explorer Jacob Rogovin: The date of discovery is Easter geographical location: near the intersection of 28 W 108 in the South Pacific Ocean, with an area of about 120km2. The present situation of Easter Island is a small Easter Island, hanging in the east in a remote corner of the earth. Easter Island is barren and arid, and the middle of the island is a desert ravaged by sandstorms, so food cannot grow at all. There are few trees on the island, only weeds. Without water supply and rivers, islanders can only make a living by digging ponds to store rainwater. There are no other wild animals on the island except rats. Residents can neither grow grain nor hunt, so they can only dig holes with simple wooden tools to grow sweet potatoes and sugar cane for a living. So the islanders here have nothing but the sea, the sun, the moon and the stars for many years. The Mystery of Easter Island-How are the statues of Maui Stone made? What do you rely on to support a lot of strong labor? How did these stone statues come out? How did these stone statues stand up and put on a 20-ton red hat? Are there any tall trees on Easter Island? Now there are no tall trees and tough enough plant fibers on the island, so where did the logs used to erect the stone statues come from? The rise and fall of Easter Island in the Millennium landed on Easter Island: the life was stable around 400 AD, and there was a population problem; Environmental problems have emerged: around 800 AD, palm trees were severely cut down and natural resources were exhausted; Building stone statues and cutting down forests have made environmental problems more prominent: forests disappeared around 1200, and the ecology deteriorated sharply; it appeared in14-15th century. The rise and fall of Easter Island is the result of over-utilization of natural resources and population growth beyond the capacity of nature, and it is a microcosm of the disharmony among population, resources, environment and development experienced by human society.
