Much of the desecration of Laysan and species extinction (such as the extinction of the Laysan Rail and Laysan Millerbird) at the turn of the 20th century was a result of his disastrous ecological mismanagement.
•
The Laysan Finch was able to survive by scavenging other dead birds, and the Laysan Duck survived because its diet of brine flies was unharmed.

The North Pacific Phosphate and Fertilizer Company sold their mining rights to Schlemmer, and he in turn sold them to a Genkichi Yamanouchi of Tokyo, allowing him to export anything from Laysan.
