Achievements
We have risen to the biodiversity and climate crisis in creative ways to adapt to the inevitable changing of times and and to save critically endangered species.
We have embarked on innovative and norm-breaking projects. Our Reef Rescuers project moved a never-ending discussion as well as a long running research agenda on coral bleaching to real action. The Cousin Island Carbon Neutral Initiative has awakened the entire conservation world to the possibilities of carbon trading, supporting projects in other countries, and in alleviating the eco- concerns of international tourists. And we have initiated other actions targeted at species like the hawksbill turtle and seabirds. Below are some highlights
Down-listing of the critically endangered Seychelles warbler from Critically Endangered to Near Threatened. Other Seychelles birds have also been saved including the Seychelles Magpie Robin, Seychelles Fody, and the Seychelles Paradise-flycatcher.
We transformed Cousin Island from a coconut plantation to a thriving vibrant and diverse island ecosystem. Success achieved on Cousin was replicated on other islands with similar conservation activities.
