Rabbits were introduced to Macquarie Island in 1878 for food and sport. Their population quickly grew, leading to significant ecological damage as they overgrazed native vegetation. This introduction, along with other invasive species, had a detrimental impact on the island's unique ecosystem. In subsequent years, efforts were made to control and eradicate the rabbit population.
