Curieuse about Cousin: GVI's day out on a special reserve

Fairy ternTowards the end of 2012 Cousin Island Special Reserve played host to a group of international volunteers and staff from Global Vision International (GVI). The visits provided an opportunity for GVI to improve upon their knowledge of the flora and fauna that can be found on the various islands in Seychelles. Although geographically close,  Curieuse and Cousin are extremely different from each other.

Mangroves - MFFJust before Christmas we spent a couple of mornings working at our nature reserve at Roche Caiman with children from the President’s Village. We have a project funded through a program called Mangroves For the Future. The program was set up after the 2004 tsunami to increase the resilience of coastal communities, like us in the Seychelles, against environmental threats such as climate change.

Water for birds

Bird bathsThe Friends of the Flycatcher after school club based on La Digue has installed eight bird baths on the island for the benefit of the Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher (Veuve). The baths were set up at the Veuve Reserve, the La Digue School, the Flycatcher Lodge, Villa Veuve, and the Community Centre at La Passe.

The project benefited from a grant from the Australian High Commission Direct Aid Programme for Seychelles and Mauritius  and begun in February 2012.
