Making World Wetland’s Day relevant to young environmentalists was the main aim of activities taking place at Nature Seychelles’ 2.7 hectare Roche Caiman Wetland Sanctuary on February, 3rd.
50 school aged members of Nature Seychelles’ partner NGO, Wildlife Clubs of Seychelles, met at the wetland, where, rather than inflicting a series of speeches and dry lectures on them, Nature Seychelles staff led a day of pond-dipping, bird watching, vegetation surveys and wetland painting.

Nature Seychelles backs stance on IUU fishing

Nature Seychelles has given its support a recent move by the Indian Ocean Commission (COI) to tackle the problem of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Ever aware of the importance of creating links between conservation driven bodies the world over, Nature Seychelles enjoys close ties with a diverse range of non-governmental organisations, universities and other environmentally focused groups in many different countries.

And while some of our strongest links are with partner organisations based in the Indian Ocean islands and the ocean’s East African rim, geographic proximity is far from being the defining factor in the importance placed on these international partnerships.

Hoping to nurse the Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher off the world’s most endangered species list a coalition of conservation bodies have joined hands to embark on a three year Vev protection project.
