That seems short sighted, Elephants don't need replacing.
Every animal does a job in the eco system and the loss of one species effects all of them.
Nonsense.
Every animal has an effect on the eco system (some much more than others). That effect is NOT its 'job' and when an animal disappears, the eco system changes. It doesn't leave a hole needing to be filled.

Here's my polytheistic script.
1) Never EVER settle (up for grabs on definition).
2) Build it backwards and relay it.
3) FlipFlop it.
5) find a market for selling it
6) jack up the price and claim it's being offered for half the value
7) hide the profits in an offshore account
Optional: If all goes well and according to plan, retire and purchase a fleet of flying porta-pottys for moving guests to and from your island.

Birds of a feather won't see themselves as being ugly.

Any ideas?
