This nature parc which consists of 200 hectares land surface has recently been officially opened to the public.
What a natural 'treasure' for Mauritius in terms of endemic fauna and flora UNIQUE biodiversity.
One of the main objectives of this natural parc is to educate the local people and tourists on the importance of managing and protecting our natural environment.
The nature parc is part of a vast project which consists of saving, preserving and rehabilitating part of the Ferney Forest and it is a good example of the close collaboration between the government and the private sector.
However we must admit that it was a real challenge some years ago for ecology minded organisations and individuals to 'fight' for the preservation of the Ferney Forest because the latter was under the threat of partial destruction due to the construction of a highway in that area...
