Imagine one of the last remaining places on Mauritius where majestic ebony trees stand tall & paradise flycatchers and Mauritius Black Bulbul live peacefully...
We need to change perception of people that working in the forest is amazing. Always.. Even if you are covered in mud - Dr Nicholas Zuel @ebonyforest@AFD_France#Mauritius Journée Biodiversite
A huge #thankyou from all the team and the animals. Throughout the #COVID19 lock-down , Jean-Luc has been living on site feeding the #PinkPigeons and Echo Parakeets, working in our plant nursery (watering, weeding, potting up, collecting seedlings) and cuddling the tortoises.
It's the World Wildlife day! #Didyouknow that since 2018 we released 50 Pink pigeon (Nesoenas mayeri) and 37 Echo parakeet (Psittacula eques) in our reserve, with our objective of setting a population of these threatened endemic species in Chamarel.@CommunityCEPF@mwfWildlife
With our continuous effort of restoring our native forest and the support received from @CommunityCEPF , we have found 2 new individuals of the critically endangered, known with less than 50 individuals in the wild, #boiscorail, Chassalia boryana in the last month!
#saviezvous que le bois puant (Foetidia mauritiana)est un arbre endémique aux mascareignes, atteignant 15 à 20 m de hauteur. C'est un bois de construction de premier ordre et qui laisse couler une huile répugnante dont le nom bois puant! #saveourforest#endemic#visitus
We love to share our passion to our visitors and this time it was the students from Loretto College Curepipe who shared their passion to protect our native forest with us.#ecoschool#visitus#nativeforest#educationfirst
