FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Some conservationists are worried, however, that the pellets could accidentally land in the sea, killing fish and other marine life.
They say they could also pose a danger to the 1,000 tourists who are allowed to visit the nature reserve each year, under a tightly-controlled permit system.
But the authorities have dismissed those concerns. “No one wants to poison the island,” Franca Zanichelli, the director of the national park authority, told Corriere della Sera.
“The project will be managed by experts. The poison pellets are similar to those used everywhere to kill rats.”
The pellets will have to be dropped from the air because the island is too rugged for them to be distributed by land.
Similar operations on the nearby island of Giannutri and in Sardinia had been a success, Ms Zanichelli said.
Similar eradication attempts have been attempted on islands in New Zealand, where rats threaten native flightless birds such as the kiwi, and on islands in the South Atlantic, which are home to tens of thousands of seabirds.
Dumas visited the island in 1842 and chose it as the setting for his novel, The Count of Monte Cristo.
His hero, Edmond Dantes, is wrongfully sent to jail, where he befriends a fellow inmate who tells him that there is a trove of treasure on Montecristo.
He finds the treasure, buys himself the title of Count of Montecristo, and proceeds to exact revenge on the men who framed him as a traitor.
Dumas was inspired by stories of two 16th century pirates, Dragut and Red Beard, who supposedly buried their haul somewhere on the island.
