(The island was called Moyenne, and at the time of Brendon’s purchase, it had been abandoned for 50 years; However, everyone thought he was crazy; he eventually moved onto the island permanently as its sole inhabitant.)
(While most people tend to buy islands for luxury, Brendon had a larger vision. He wanted to restore the island to its raw beauty, creating a natural paradise completely untouched by humans and tourism.)
(Over the next 40 years, Brendon lived alone on the island; he was able to plant 16,000 trees by hand, built 3 miles (5km) of natural paths, and attracted around 2,000 new birds to Moyenne.)
(Brendon had transformed a deserted land into an island of incredible beauty, Moyenne was so gorgeous that Brendon was offered $50 million dollars for it by a Saudi prince, but he turned him down.)
นับตั้งแต่เบรนดอนเสียชีวิตในปีค.ศ. 2012 เกาะแห่งนี้ได้รับการดูแลและเป็นของมูลนิธิ Moyenne Island Foundation
(Since Brendon passed away in 2012, the island is owned by the Moyenne Island Foundation and is today a national park available to everyone to come and enjoy thanks to his efforts.)
