High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Biodiversity of New Caledonia is considered to be one of the most important in the world. New Caledonia, a large south Pacific island group about 1,200 km east of Australia, supports high levels of endemism, with many unique plants, insects, reptiles and birds. This biodiversity is threatened by introduced species, logging, fire, agriculture and urban development, and mining (nickel and other valuable minerals). The island has lost several species since the arrival of man, but none are thought to have become extinct since 1500.
