Small Island States [SIDS] have peculiar constraints and in Seychelles with 115 islands spread over 1.3 million sq. kilometers of ocean this challenge is acute. Dr. Nirmal Shah has led Nature Seychelles to use and embrace ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) to enhance conservation action so as to facilitate conservation and at the same time bolster education and raise awareness.

Nature Seychelles has yet again crossed the conservation rubicon by the introduction of the Seychelles flagship species or “bird of pride”, the Seychelles Magpie-robin to a “new” island.

Islands ecosystems are home to millions of the world’s biodiversity, some of which are the world’s largest nesting sites for sea turtles, others with high endemism.
