Easter Island is a natural feature, and was not built by mankind. I suspect you mean the stone heads standing on the Island. In which case, apparently, on one really knows for certain why they were erected.

What might have been some of the challenges the easter island faced?
A series of devastating events killed almost the entire population of Easter Island. Jared Diamond suggested that Easter Island's society so destroyed their environment that, by around 1600, their society fell into a downward spiral of warfare, cannibalism, and population decline. Such devastating events that contributed to the downfall and collapse of the Easter Island society can be attributed to the rapid deforestation during the time of moai-construction. The Easter Island palm was used by settlers for means of constructing agricultural tools for their society and aiding in the transport of the Island's statues. It is likely the decline of the palm and the rapid deforestation that took place on the island caused societal collapse and population collapse. Those who survived were forced to completely adapt to their changing environment.

When were the Easter Island Heads made?
Easter Island Heads have been examined for decades and yet no answer can be given to the mystery as to why they were made. Thor Heyerdahl spent several months there and wrote of his experiences in Aku-Aku. The statues were made on the island and partially complete ones can be found in a quarry. The natives also demonstrated a method that could be used to move them and set them into place. I think a long time ago, the people of Aku-Aku built the statues to scare away some of the other countries. Or, they could have some religious significance.
