Our campaign will protect reptile species by inspiring recreational visitors to follow a visitors code of conduct in order to reduce littering, fire use and the introduction of invasive species
— Cathleen Cybele, Campaign Manager
The campaign’s impact will be measured by the increase in knowledge about endemic reptiles and their natural habitat, increased support for their protection and increased compliance with the promoted Code of Conduct.
Our symbol of pride is the Ornate day gecko.
Amongst the many places one could go to learn about environmental conservation Mauritius is perhaps the ultimate destination. Not only was it once home to a flightless bird whose disappearance has sparked people’s imagination all over the world and become an emblem for the power and responsibility that we human beings carry in determining other species’ fate. It is also a place where extinction and conservation continue to be two very concrete possibilities.
