Overview
North Island represents a Noah’s Ark – a sanctuary where natural wildlife habitats are being rehabilitated and where critically endangered Seychelles fauna and flora are being reintroduced by conservationists and volunteers – providing a haven to regenerate.
Testimonial
Being involved in the marking and monitoring of the Green and Hawksbill populations on North Island is a truly amazing experience,” says volunteer Bas Kroon. “It’s not easy to explain what it feels like to see a turtle (on the beach or in the ocean) and help with the tagging of a turtle. One thing is for sure though – it’s something you will never ever forget!”
