Captive Breeding Programs Lord Howe Island is home to much unique flora and fauna. Sadly, some species are long extinct while other are highly endangered (following the introduction of feral species). Among those most threatened are what were once considered to be the world's rarest birds, the Lord Howe Island Woodhen (found to have survived on Mount Gower), and the world's rarest insects, the Lord Howe Island Land Lobster (found to have survived on Ball's Pyramid). These have been the subject of successful captive breeding programs.

Marine Life Having the world's most southerly coral reef and situated at the juncture of both warm and cool currents, Lord Howe Island's waters host a strange and wonderful diversity of tropical and temperate species, many found nowhere else.
