This undated photo shows sooty albatrosses on Marion Island, part of the Port Edwards Islands, a South African territory in the southern Indian Ocean near Antarctica. Mice that were brought by mistake to a remote island near Antarctica 200 years ago are breeding out of control because of climate change, eating seabirds and causing major harm in a special nature reserve with “unique biodiversity.” Now conservationists are planning a mass extermination using helicopters and hundreds of tons of rodent poison.
