CONSERVATION IN MAURITIUS AND RODRIGUES
By Mike Maunder
Isolated oceanic islands contain some the world's most
threatened ecosystems. These unique communities are the home to
many species found nowhere else on earth and provide a real
challenge to conservationists. However, the main phase of
environmental destruction for a number of islands has passed, and
the opportunity now exists to both restore degraded habitats and
reintroduce lost and threatened species.
Mauritius and Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean are recognized
as centers of endemism for vascular plants, birds, reptiles and
molluscs. The islands contain some of the world's rarest plant
and animal species. Between 800 and 900 plant species occur on
Mauritius, including 8 endemic genera. Three hundred species of
plants are only found on Mauritius, of these about 80% are
threatened with extinction.
The future of conservation on Mauritius and Rodrigues lies
with developing collaborative conservation programs linking
national ministries with local non-governmental groups and
international conservation agencies. This allows a broad base of
expertise to be utilized. In recognition of this need a
cooperative agreement was signed on the 5th of December at the
Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust headquarters between
conservation agencies and the Mauritius government. Signatories
from the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust (JWPT), the Mauritius
Wildlife Fund (MWF), the Fauna and Flora Preservation Society
(FFPS), and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBGK) joined the
Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the Hon. Keertee
Ruhee, Government of Mauritius. Through established patterns of
collaboration the partners are supporting habitat survey and
management, species re-introduction and captive propagation,
professional training and capacity building. This agreement
builds on the long involvement of JWPT and MWF in promoting
conservation on Mauritius, such as the successful recovery of the
Mauritian kestrel, once described as the rarest bird in the
world. The organizations involved will provide the required
skills in the horticultural and conservation management of
threatened plants and habitats (RBGK), island restoration,
vertebrate captive breeding and introductions (JWPT), training
and institutional strengthening (FFPS). Three priority areas
include: the relictual areas of forest on Rodrigues; the remnant
lowland forest community on Ile aux Aigrettes; and the highly
degraded but recovering Round Island.
Tha Mascarenes are not unique with regard to the extent of
environmental degradation and to the large number of critically
endangered taxa. A massive initiative in island restoration will
be required in many island areas, such as the Caribbean,
Polynesia and the Philippines, to ensure the survival of
threatened biotas and essential landscape services such as the
retention of watersheds. The conservation work underway on
Mauritius is a model of integrated conservation management. For

LEATHERBACK TURTLE
TAGGING
The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) nests on
two major sections of beach along a 60-mile stretch of the
Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Tagging studies have revealed that
many Costa Rican leatherbacks do not show strong nesting site
fidelity. Individuals tagged in southern Costa Rica have been
encountered in the northern part of the country and Panama.
Because individual animals may use widely separated nesting
beaches, conservation efforts need to focus on as many beaches as
possible in order to adequately protect the resource; otherwise,
individuals protected at one beach may be disturbed or killed
when they visit another.
During the 1995 leatherback nesting season, February through
June, the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC) will
coordinate turtle studies on two stretches of beach north of
Puerto Limon. The Endangered Wildlife Trust (UK) will monitor a
4-mile stretch of beach within the private Mondonguillo Nature
Reserve, south of Tortuguero National Park. CCC will monitor a
20-mile stretch of beach at the northern end of the leatherback
nesting range, including all of Tortuguero National Park.
Research and monitoring activities will consist of daily beach
surveys, tagging, collection of biometric data and determination
of clutch survival. These activities will be directed by CCC
Scientific Director, Dr. Jeanne A. Mortimer.
The CCC seeks individuals willing to participate in the
leatherback program as paying volunteers. Eight and fifteen day
openings are available costing $1,470 and $1,790 respectively.
Volunteers will be involved in all aspects of the leatherback
project. The fee covers round-trip airfare from Miami, food,
accommodations and the cost of the research project.
Scientists and volunteers will be housed at the CCC's
Tortuguero Biological Field Station. Tortuguero is a remote
roadless area on the coast, at the edge of a wet tropical rain
forest that is criss-crossed by rivers and streams. Access is by
boat or plane. The field station is located adjacent to the small
village of Tortuguero and the 20,000 hectare Tortuguero National
Park. In addition to working with the turtles, volunteers will
have the opportunity to meet people typical of a Caribbean
coastal community and go on day trips organized by the field
station to explore the rain forest of the National Park and other
ecosystems of the northern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

NEW PUBLICATIONS
Education for the Earth , a college guide for careers
in the environment, is the only in-depth guide to environmental
programs at colleges and universities throughout the United
States and Canada. Developed with an advisory board of experts in
the field Education for the Earth, covers environmental
programs at 211 institutions of higher learning. The 350
undergraduate and 240 graduate programs highlight five broad
career areas: environmental engineering, environmental health,
environmental science, general environmental studies and natural
resource management. Each program profile includes information on
enrollment, costs, admissions, and faculty, as well as program
details, such as field work opportunity, facilities, graduate
study, and employment.
This updated edition is available for $14.95 from bookstores
or by calling Peterson's Customer Service at (800) 338-3282.
Many wildlife species are undergoing serious population
declines throughout their ranges due to habitat fragmentation and
other anthropogenic effects. State and federal agencies are
subject to increasing pressure to identify important habitat
features for impact assessment, mitigation, and conservation
initiatives. Until now, no methodology existed that allowed
agencies to predict potential habitat for wetland-dependent
amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Funded by the New England
Transportation Consortium and the Federal Highway Administration,
WEThings: Wetland Habitat Indicators for Non-Game Species
(Wetland dependent amphibians, reptiles and mammals of New
England) serves as a methodology to meet this need in the New
England states. The WEThings method is based on an extensive
literature review of measurable habitat characteristics conducted
for 22 amphibian, 15 reptile, and 22 mammal species, many of
which are listed as rare, threatened, or endangered in at least
one of the six New England states. Detailed summaries of the
literature were compiled for each species and serve as the basis
from which predictive models were produced. The models may be
used individually but also have been combined into a software
package that provides a composite habitat predicting model for
all species. The two volume set costs $75.00, including postage.
