Wise practice guidelines for rare species published
A vital milestone has been reached in the ongoing conservation campaign
to save rare endemic species. Nature Seychelles, supported by the
Seychelles Magpie Robin Recovery Team (SMART), and with funding from
the Environment Trust Fund and the Royal Society for the Protection of
Birds (RSPB), has published the Best Practice Handbook for Management
of a Critically Endangered Species - the Seychelles Magpie Robin (or Pi
Santez). The book is the culmination of 16 years of intensive practical
conservation effort, compiled in one volume as a record of all that has
been learned since the Recovery Plan for the species kicked in to
action in 1990.
