Rapa Nui National Park covers 7,150 hectares, almost 44% of the total area of the island with the same name in the South Pacific. According to a report by the indigenous Rapa Nui community Ma'u Henua, in charge of the protected area, in October 2022 more than 100 hectares were severely damaged by a series of fires. Thanks to an emergency fund, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is helping the local community to start on the path to recovery.
