It is to be noted that Mauritius imports food in large quantity from foreign countries which is consumed by our local inhabitants. With the increasing concern for fresh, safe and good quality food among consumers and also with the growing number of tourists visiting Mauritius every year, this means that a potential market for the production of organic cultivation exists in our country.

Creating a Native Green Space at the Citadel of Port-Louis


Le projet de reboisement de la Citadelle mené par Friends of Environment est financé par l`UNDP GEF/SGP, avec l`accord du ministère du Tourisme, la municipalité de Port Louis et Discover Mauritius.

Ce projet consiste à reboiser les flancs (1 hectare) de la Petite Montagne de la Citadelle avec des plantes natives de l`endroit et des plantes endémiques en respectant l`héritage historique national. Le besoin a été estimé à 10 000 plants.

La transplantation des plantules se fera par des enfants d`école, des touristes, des personnalités…Ce projet permettra de créer un espace vert au cœur de la capitale et aidera à conscientiser le public face a l`importance de protéger notre biodiversité.
