Don't be a pest
Couran Cove is an eco-tourism resort.
And one of their hardest jobs is finding a balance between the eco
and the tourism. They take responsibility
for the environment by collecting and removing introduced pests, such
as weeds and cane toads. But they also have to deal with pests that do
belong on the island, but don't play well with people.
Guests come to Couran Cove to enjoy the environment without damaging
it. Most of them, however, get a bit cross when the environment starts
enjoying them! So one of the first problems the resort had to deal with
was its mosquito population.
As Ron Clarke said, there's no point in building a multimillion
dollar holiday destination if the mozzies keep people away.
