FFEM PROJECT

Picture
This major project led by ICS in partnership with IDC and Ministry of Environment & Natural Resources rehabilitated and enhanced several islands for the maintenance of native biodiversity in Seychelles through eradication of introduced predator species, rehabilitation of habitats and reintroduction of rare or threatened species. The project:
  • Eradicated introduced predator mammals and birds (rats, cat, Common Myna and Barn Owl) from three granitic islands and two coralline islands
  • Controlled invasive plants and trees and replace them with indigenous species
  • Reintroduced rare or threatened species or sub-species (birds, reptiles, invertebrates), for a total of nine reintroductions.

The project centred on conservation activities, but also included scientific inventories and biodiversity monitoring activities, sourcing of equipment and development of infrastructure geared towards sustainable management of island ecosystems through scientific eco-tourism and local capacity-building.
