There is just one Pitcairn Island. Maybe the title should read Pitcairn Islanders face extinction. If they do, so what. The history of the island will still remain and fascinate as long as it is left as is. If no one wants to live there who can blame them.
I have a hard time believing that given the interest and the perks of the island such as no taxes, free land, beautiful tropical environment, etc that only one person has wanted to move there since they started taking applicants. Yeah it is a remote island in the middle of nowhere so some perks we are used to would never be availiable, yeah it has a bad history that may or may not still be going on. (although not everyone applying would even know about that). But you are telling me only 1 person has shown an interest into moving out into an "island paradise" where land is free, a small town environment and no taxes? No way. I am not going to say "it's a scam" because I don't know that, but at the very least they are not making much effort to repopulate the island as they would have you believe.
They're running a scam. Thousands apply and there's a 500 dollar fee that's non refundable, all applications are denied. They do it to themselves so they can keep up they're convoluted lifestyle, as far as I'm concerned Pitcairn and it's residents should be annexed to Europe and it's land used for ocean conservation. Nothing else.
Diana Mincher The stories "Adams" told were confused, conflicting, and unreliable. We will never know. And maybe that's best. Let the legend and myths survive.
Considering I've made well over $500 in ad revenues from Don't Go To Pitcairn you could say I'm over it. What still bothers me however is the continuing issue of child molestation and coordinated efforts to cover it up.
Russel Scott i think that nature should reclaim the island, however, you seem totally obsessed with this island cant you see it will die if it and if it doesn't die through it being evacuated, and it chooses to bring in young immigrants to save it the culture will die with the original residents, demographically you need hundreds to make an island like that viable for generations you got screwed by them but they will lose their island one way or another just find something else for yourself you are looking a bit nutty. also how many children remain on the island? how many child bearing age women?
Where do they get the money to purchase the supplies that are brought in to them a few times a year? And if there are only 49-50 residents there, who does the doctoring to them when they have medical needs?
The UK government sends them around £2-3 million pounds a year. They also take care of issues the islanders are unable to themselves. This included sending police to investigate and arrest child abusers on the island and put them on trial, for which I think they found a judge from New Zealand.
They sell postage stamps, Internet domain registration, local honey and silly wood carvings. They also scam people who want to move there by charging a $500 application fee to move to their "island paradise" and they ignore or deny the applications. It's a scam.
They have a scam where you send 500 dollars if you want to move to Pitcairn, then they just keep your money. The British goiv also subsidizes the inhabitants.

At some point the government would to force the old people to live off island. Seems for what they are paying to keep the island alive they could buy out the remaining people and then sell the island to some billionaire. Who could build an air strip and harbor.
You couldn't build an air strip there. There is no suitable land for it. It is also too far away from anything to fly a helicopter and there is no suitable port to dock a ship.
you could build an airstrip, it would only require massive mining to get the material out of the mountain. What would be possible is to station a helicopter on the island which then would pick up people from the boats wating outside. But then they would need a helicopter pilot and a helicopter, which is quite expensive. The fact remains that with the current population, it is nearly impossible to get people interested in the island

That's what I want to go for. Only problem is I have four very very attractive small kids. And because I am a prepper I am quite able and willing to mass execute a population as small as 50 if they tried anything on my kids with or without their consent because they do not have and will never get my consent even when my kids are grown I would have to ship in non pedophiles to marry them off to. And I suspect when the British government arrived with food shipments and supplies three months after my arrival only to find I killed 50 people in self defense of my children's virtue I don't suspect they would be as easy on me in court as they where on the child molesters of Pitcairn for there sentencing lol.

+xWolfx 94 I don't think there is any rule of being on any grid (the grid there isn't exactly the best either, power only is on for part of the day and people generally have generators otherwise). Some houses are more modern then others, but Fletcher Christian didn't have a flush toilet or electric lights and he did just fine...well until those two Tahitians shot him, but it could happen to anyone lol. For weirdly other reasons I have done a lot of reading about Pitcairn, how things go, etc. I'm like an amateur Pitcairn historian... probably the only one, like on the outside.
AN ISOLATED SOCIETY FOR OVER MAYBE 12-15 GENERATIONS 1800-2019. THEY COULD ALL HAVE BEEN regarded as AUSTRALIAN PRISONERS FROM BOTANY BAY. They have always been interbreeding since they came to the island un the 1700's and there were 11 original tahitian (abductees) with 6 tahitian men and 9 (Fletcher & 8 crew) who landed. So should be a varied male edna presently but since Adams was last alive it would be interesting to see whose Ydna rules today. Ydna does not mix like autosomes. Nations's often suck as they govern and steal lands, not their own.
Also most of the women on the island in the past half century having their first kid between age 12-15. Its an island of poor inbred Epsteins and their stockholm syndrome victims.
It's all about the money. It costs millions to keep up such an isolated place for a few dozen people, on an island that has no strategic importance to anybody. It's Britain's last Pacific colony and it's not worth the money. Time to send everybody to Norfolk Island, close it down as a nature preserve and staff it with just a couple of scientists to run things. Problem solved. It's been a good run, but that's enough.
A small amount *(approx. 40)of the Native, Indigenous Street People of Hawaii should be asked if they'd like to go there instead of the Smiley Brit White's taking over the show(as always!)- They've enjoyed the Islands long enough! *THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT U.S. EXPENCE!
Quite a lot of money is needed and money for building house etc. It's a full financial commitment meant to being one down to earth with a bang! Fairly elitist!
The solution is easy. Send all prisoners from u.k. u.s. and canada there, just let them lose on the island. maybe in 200 years theyll be worthwhile like australia.
Pitcairn was a net beneficiary of EU funding. Now that the UK has left the EU Customs Union and Single Market, Pitcairn and all other UK Overseas Territories (excluding Gibraltar) face tariffs of between 6 and 18%, and a 43% tariff on meat exports.
