Revive the original environment of François Leguat reserve on Rodrigues Island. Once described as covered with forest, Rodrigues is now considered one of the most degraded tropical islands in the world. With CEPF support, François Leguat, a privately owned tourism and conservation area, will restore six hectares of degraded land by planting about 100,000 native plants. The project will also develop a program of international eco-volunteers who will work on ecosystem restoration and environmental education.
