Historical State of Ecosystem

        To state it bluntly, humans are to blame for the demise of tropical forests all across the world, especially places such as Viti Levu. Due to the fact that this particular ecosystem is located on an island, there is even more reason to believe that humans are the main cause for its destruction because it is a closed system with a finite number of land. On a more geographical note, the island of Viti Levu is known amongst the islands of Melanesia as being one of the largest tropical rain forests with the most biodiversity. As far as tropical rainforests are concerned, Viti Levu is one that has relatively high biodiversity remaining due to the natives activism in trying to stop massive logging projects and rampant subsistence agriculture.
