What will september bring?

The end of the August green health challenge is just the beginning of a healthy lifestyle.

“I finished my August with a walk last night that included a buzzard flying over our house, bat watching, a beautiful crescent moon and a lovely glow from the setting sun. What will September bring?” That was a comment by Fran Collins a fan of Nature Seychelles Green Health facebook page. Her comment was in reaction to the just ended August Green Health Challenge.

We are gods

This whole week I’ve been eating “gro manze” for lunch and dinner. Crazy, you say. But this is the staple food of many islanders all over the world including our own ancestors. I’m in Samoa attending the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) third international meeting as part of the Seychelles delegation at the kind invitation of President James Michel. 

Small island developing states tackle climate change through sustainable development

The climate is changing, that there is no doubt about. Nature Seychelles has been on the forefront of efforts to adapt to a changing climate. We made Cousin island Special Reserve the first carbon neutral nature reserve in the world. We have restored the Roche Caiman wetland so that it now efficiently absorbs not only increased rainfall and runoff from roads and car parks but also carbon from the atmosphere. Our Reef Rescuers project (Restoring Coral Reefs In The Face of Climate Change) is a world pioneering activity that is growing climate resilient reefs to face an uncertain future.

Fishy Facts

The still popular 1975 movie ‘Jaws’ has helped to warrant that the mention of the word “shark” will usually conjure up images of man eating masters of the sea. The movie is centered on a great white shark which goes on a killing spree in a fictional holiday town, prompting the local police to hunt it down with the help of a marine biologist.
