The island has a warm, tropical climate. Trees such as coconut, mango, lemon, grow on the island. Due to heavy marine pollution, its shores are littered with plastic bottles and other junk.^{[citation needed]}

The wildlife on and around the island includes crabs, sharks, and lizards such as the gecko. There is also a small group of goats on the island, left by the people of the Komo clan of the largest neighbouring Island. The goats maintain their population on the island without human intervention. During festivities,^[which?] a goat is captured and removed from the island during the night by shining a flashlight on it, causing it to freeze.^{[citation needed]}

The island was featured on a Discovery Channel survival series, Marooned with Ed Stafford, in which a former British Army officer, Ed Stafford, spent 60 days alone on the island.
