Cousin Island Special Reserve is more ready than ever to welcome eco-tourists and scientists thanks to a recent two day first aid training course for all of the island’s conservation staff.
Run by the Red Cross, the training session was held at the Island Conservation Centre, Praslin, where the Cousin Island Wardens and other Nature Seychelles staff were put through their paces in a series of medical emergency role-playing exercises.
The first aid course – a refresher exercise for most of the staff, but a new experience for some – focused on how to give frontline CPR and deal with general medical emergencies, such as broken bones, bleeding and heart attacks.
