Out with the diesel, in with the solar

Individuals and corporations have helped Nature Seychelles reach its goal to replace the diesel powered generator used in Cousin Island with a Photovoltaic Solar Power system. In a partnership between Nature Seychelles and Climatecaring.org, the organizations in April launched a crowd funding drive.

Cousin Island wildlife celebrated at international arts festival

children-workshopsThe Spanish town of Cáceres got a small taste of Seychelles biodiversity during the famous World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) festival, held from 8-11 May 2014, when artists from the UK led children in workshops and a procession in fish, bird and turtle costumes through its cobbled streets. The inspiration for the costumes was the conservation work being undertaken on Cousin Island Special Reserve. Ian Simons, a designer, maker and art activist from Otherworld Arts, UK said that the island reserve had greatly inspired him to create a themed procession called "Save the Planet" for this year's WOMAD Cáceres festival.

Saving the Giant Clams

aquaculture-clamNature Seychelles in collaboration with Black Pearl Farm Ltd is beginning a project to restore giant clams in the waters of Praslin, where aquaculture-raised giant clams (Tridacna maxima) will be translocated. Roald and Kari Nilsen of Black Pearl Farm will donate 120 aquaculture-raised giant clams for re-introduction into the wild. The Nature Seychelles' Reef Rescuers project previously translocated 30 clams from Black Pearl Farm as an experimental pilot program. This allowed testing of new translocation methods. One-month after translocation, the giant clams have successfully adapted to the wild.
