Wildlife problems on the island of Guam are discussed. Increased human population resulting in increased demand and commercialization has resulted in overexploitation of the native fruit bats Pteropus spp. and marine resources. Introduced mammals, reptiles and possibly disease are in part responsible for the entire forest avifauna being in danger of extinction. Other problems include numerous animal and plant introductions, intensive coral and shell collecting, and habitat destruction. Recommendations are made for improved monitoring, legal protection, and public awareness.
