How to colonize this planet?

+0
−0

About 39 light years away is a lush, biodiverse planet, called Leena. It is the fourth planet from a yellow star. The planet is a prime target for human colonization, as probe bots have discovered that the planet has oxygen, large amounts of liquid water, and its gravity was only 1.5 times earth gravity. So they build 3 ships, and the population sent to the planet is 50,000 people. They also sent livestock animals like cows, chickens and pigs, and crops like potatoes and cabbage. They also brought pet animals, like cats and dogs.

There are many problems with colonizing this planet, however.

Problem 1: The surface of the planet is covered in a thick layer of trees and shrubs that block the sun out on the surface. It must be cleared if they want to grow food on the planet.

Problem 2: There are plants, called eco-titans, that will eat any human or animals who stray too close. If killed, these animals will release their spores, which will make more Ecotitans they need to deal with.

So, do you have any solutions for these problems?
