Thin skinned but still in the clear

The findings of screening done on various islands in the Seychelles between May 2010 and March 2013 to test amphibians for Bd have just been published in the Herpetological Review. Bd (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) is a fungus that causes illness in the species, threatening amphibian populations worldwide with 71 countries and nearly 700 species reportedly affected.

Today Newspaper, 9 March 2015: Ms. Henri has been with Nature Seychelles for sixteen years, a non-governmental conservation organisation registered in 1998 and the BirdLife partner in the country. “I couldn’t imagine a better place to work.” says Ms. Henri “It’s the noblest feeling to work on saving a species from extinction.”

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.

 

I have spent the past two years working for Nature Seychelles, living on Cousin Island Special Reserve. The price for living on such an island is paid in full when it is time to leave. Last night on my way home from dinner at my volunteer’s house across the island I was reflecting on how natural island life has become.
