Henderson Island is located in the eastern South Pacific and is one of the few atolls in the world whose ecological environment is almost unaffected by human influence. Its isolated geographical location provides an ideal environment for studying island evolution and the dynamics of natural selection. The island is particularly noteworthy for its 10 endemic plant species and 4 land bird species.
