What are some of the things people like about Cousin Island?

All nature moments in Cousin are special to us. Some more so than others. Here are the favourites of staff, volunteers, Conservation Boot Camp (CBC) participants, and tourists.

Seychelles supports the greatest abundance of seabirds in the tropical Indian Ocean, but regional seabird population breeding success and trend data are not readily available despite data collection spanning many years at several locations.
Nature is the gift that keeps on giving. Its bounty is both vast and varied. We all draw from nature, whether it's for food, water, medicine, beautiful plants, and animals, or spiritual connections. Sadly, we have depleted nature's basket, and every day, its abundance diminishes. Here's how you can have festive fun without overburdening Mother Nature.
In 1998 the coral bleaching event that hit Seychelles almost destroyed the pristine reefs of Cousin Island Special Reserve. “The Cousin reefs had been protected from fishing and other impacts for more than 40 years as this is a no-take strictly controlled protected area. The coral ecosystem here was very sensitive because it had not been faced with disturbances in 4 decades or more and was one of the first in Seychelles to go,” says Dr. Nirmal Shah, the CEO of Nature Seychelles.
“Long term conservation programs are difficult to maintain in small island developing states (SIDS) like Seychelles”, says Nature Seychelles CEO Dr. Nirmal Shah, a conservation practitioner with over 40 years' experience.
Since 1998.
