About Island Conservation Society
Island Conservation Society promotes the conservation and restoration of island ecosystems of Seychelles, the sustainable development of islands, and awareness of their vulnerability and vital importance to the planet's biodiversity. Founded in 2001, ICS today runs conservation centres at five islands across Seychelles, with more planned for the future when funding permits.
History
In late 2000, a small group of committed individuals come together to create the first conservation body dedicated to working in the outer islands of Seychelles. In April 2001, Island Conservation Society was legally declared as an NGO.
