The Protector of the Island seems analogous to the person pushing the button. It seems as whenever the "other" people get too close to reaching the powers of the Island, they are wiped out. Much like pressing the button resets the EM in the Hatch.
We know the following people have been wiped out on the Island:
MiB's original people
DHARMA Initiative
People who built the temples/statues
It seems this mass genocide (as explained in the interview I posted above) repeats itself on the Island as these people get closer and, presumably, greedier to find that power.
