The new wharf helped Rambuso develop and now the busy town has some 500 citizens. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Transportation">Transportation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tagula_Island&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Transportation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The island has an airport, code <a href="/wiki/List_of_airports_by_IATA_code:_T#TG" class="mw-redirect" title="List of airports by IATA code: T">(IATA-Code „TGL“)</a> for public transport, near Tagula village. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Biodiversity">Biodiversity</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tagula_Island&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Biodiversity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Several species are <a href="/wiki/Endemism" title="Endemism">endemic</a> to the island, including the aptly named <a href="/wiki/Tagula_white-eye" title="Tagula white-eye">Tagula white-eye</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tagula_honeyeater" title="Tagula honeyeater">Tagula honeyeater</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tagula_butcherbird" title="Tagula butcherbird">Tagula butcherbird</a>.
