Did you know that Easter Island, famed for its Moai statues, tells a cautionary tale of resource depletion? 🗿 This remote island, once home to 15,000 people and nearly 900 statues, suffered deforestation due to excessive tree use for transport and construction. 🌳 By the 18th century, its population dwindled to a few thousand, with only about 288 statues left. ⏳ This history highlights the significance of sustainable practices in safeguarding our heritage and natural resources. 🌏🌱Design Contest

INTRODUCTION:
WHY THE NAME "MOAI MAGIC"?
The name "Moai Magic" was chosen for its ability to encapsulate the enchantment and wonder surrounding the iconic Moai statues of Easter Island. These towering figures have always held a mystique, and their creation remains a testament to the ingenuity of the Rapa Nui people. By infusing these monumental sculptures with the warm, captivating glow of sustainable wax candles, we aim to capture the essence of their magic. This name serves as an invitation to experience the allure of Easter Island's cultural heritage, while also illuminating our commitment to sustainability, creating a unique fusion that both honors the past and shapes a more eco-conscious future.
