Overview

In Mauritius, we find 9 species of living, endemic bird species.

In late 1950’s, species such as Mauritius kestrel, Pink pigeon and Echo parakeet were in immediate danger of extinction, and although numbers have grown, they have not yet won the war of survival. In 1974 only four Mauritius kestrels existed making it the rarest bird on earth. Today there are more than 350 birds in the wild. Thanks to an intensive program of captive breeding.

You will be accompanied by guided tour, that's a fantastic way to explore and learn more about a particular place.
