A
Last week, a wildfire happened in Rapa Nui National Park on Chile's Easter Island. The fire caused serious damage(损害) to several of the large, ancient stone statues(雕像) that the island is famous for.
Easter Island is home to about 900 large stone statues. The large statues were created over 500 years ago by the Rapa Nui people(拉帕努伊人). There are still many questions about how they were able to create, move, and stand up such statues.
Hundreds of stone statues are standing near the Rani Raraku volcano(拉尼拉库火山) inside Rapa Nui National Park. The area has been named by the United Nations as an area that's important to protect. Sadly, that's also where the fire was the strongest.
A wildfire spread quickly through the Rapa Nui National Park on October 4th. Park workers and fire fighters worked for hours. But the fire spread easily through the grassland around the area. It wasn't until late the next day that the fire was brought under control. A worker in the park said it didn't have enough volunteers to fight the fire more quickly.
Experts are still investigating, but it's clear that the fire has damaged some of these stone statues.
The cause of the fire isn't known yet. But Mr. Edmunds Paoa, the mayor(市长) of Easter Island, believed the fire was not started naturally. "All the fires on Rapa Nui are caused by human beings,” he said. He believed the island needs more government support to be able to deal with situations like this one.
The stone statues have made Easter Island a very popular tourist site. Easter Island has about 160,000 visitors a year. It's now been closed as experts try to learn more about the damage caused by the fire.
