Reportedly, the many rabbits on Rabbit Island reduced in population from over 1000 to 400 count around the time of COVID. This situation can be observed from visitors' videos posted. There were less number of rabbits running all over visitors with food. Though uncertain, the reason for the decline is attributed to sickness and disease. However, recovery is slowly being realised towards and ever since the end of 2022. The "Gateway to Rabbit Island" channel posted a fantastic feature promotion video about a year ago. Rabbit Island, the only bunnies' paradise in the world, welcomes approximately 400,000 visitors yearly, truly a treasure gem in Asia.
