Goat vs gecko: A tiny Caribbean island faces wildlife showdown
There are as many goats as humans on the island and, while they charm the tourists as they roam on the beaches and graze in the gardens, there is a darker side to this uncontrolled feral herd.
They ravage protected areas, munch through vegetation and destroy the habitats of other animals -- some of which are endangered and endemic to Terre-de-Haut and other islands in Les Saintes archipelago.
Officials on the island chain, which is part of the French overseas territory of Guadeloupe, are now considering drastic action.
