The civilisation of Easter Island, or Rapu Nui as it is known locally, was destroyed by the Polynesian descendantsthemselves. According to American scientist Jared Diamond, the island's inhabitants, who were descendants of the Polynesians, eventually exhausted their resources, leading to the collapse of their civilisation. This included the depletion of trees necessary for building wooden canoes for fishing, which resulted in their isolation and the eventual decline of their civilisation.
