The Toromiro - a small tree once endemic to Easter Island but declared extinct in 1978 – may soon be “reborn,” with more than 5,000 trees to be planted on the island in 2011.
The last time the tree was seen on Easter Island was in 1962 in the Ranu Kao crater, when the last remaining exmple of the species on the island was cut for firewood.
