The wellbeing properties of nature have been known for centuries. At Nature Seychelles we are putting these restorative qualities to good use through our Nature Therapy programme. We work with local referral agencies in the drug rehabilitation and mental health services. We offer a structured programme of activities, such as gardening, conservation, green exercise and yoga. This provides vulnerable and dependent groups with appropriate mental, physical and practical skills to improve their livelihood options and to facilitate participation in mainstream society.

The programme helps increase self-esteem and confidence, encourages personal development and teaches respect for the environment. It teaches and develops social skills and previous participants have reported improved sleep, increased ability to concentrate and improvements in behaviour of young people.

To find out how your company, organisation or society might benefit from our Nature Therapy programme call 4601100.

Sustainable development is everywhere these days as we try to make the limited resources the world offers last for future generations. At Nature Seychelles we have been modelling sustainability for more than a decade, from our carbon neutral project on Cousin Island to rainwater harvesting at our Centre for Environment and Education on Mahe.

Making your business more sustainable, is not only good for the environment, but it is good for your bottom line also. Our staff are experts in many different aspects of sustainability. Whether it is advice on installing solar panels or assistance in carbon budgeting, we can help you to deliver the best sustainability choice.

It's now mandatory for many companies to provide 0.5% of their turnover. So who should you give your money to? Nature Seychelles provides a safe, innovative and mutually-beneficial partnership.

Being a multiple award-winning NGO with an international reputation we can offer sound, sustainable and socially-relevant projects to invest in. We  have a project catalogue our corporate partners can cherry pick from. We also want to work with thought-leaders in the private sector to incubate their ideas into  new environmental projects.

Rather than seeing your CSR contribution as a burden, consider showcasing it as a flagship. Our approach offers our corporate partners bespoke opportunities for strategic positioning,  branding, communication and marketing,  new product launch, team building and so forth.

Since 2012 Nature Seychelles has been registered as a Private Education Institute giving us the legal authority to operate as a teaching services provider in the Seychelles. We run a variety of conservation and sustainability courses at the Centre for Environment and Education on Mahe and on Cousin Island, and we are extending the range of courses we offer all the time.

Where ever possible, our courses are accredited by the Seychelles Qualification Authority, so you can rest assured that they will be delivered to the higher standards. If there is a particular training need which your organisation has in the area of conservation or sustainability then why not give us a call and see if we can help in providing it.
