and the work undertaken by the island restoration team, a collaborative initiative between the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust. The last remnants of coastal forest have been restored on this coralline limestone island through extensive efforts to remove invasive species, plant native plant species, and reintroduce endemic birds and reptiles. Through many years of hard work, the now lush island showcases what coastal Mauritius may have been like before humans arrived 400 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>After my island initiation on Ile aux Aigrettes, I was dropped by helicopter for a two week stint on the famous Round Island. To protect the island from any accidental introductions of invasive species, I had to check and quarantine everything I planned to bring with me (even my underwear!) for seeds, insects, or sneaky little house geckos. The 219-ha closed nature reserve is managed by the National Parks and Conservation Service, the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, and the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_6'  class='avia-section av-22ojh1u-11f508b9cf865780d33198a3c556d439 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  species-inner-content-intro-wrapper avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-16370'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1nq9h0y-1575b7381eabd2beee57130be04970ff av_one_full  avia-builder-el-26  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div'     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfk7mqhy-82b8cca3663ef85cf85f6360118d9899'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>This nature reserve is vastly different from the verdant Ile aux Aigrettes. Introduced goats and rabbits decimated most of the native vegetation on Round Island until their eradication in the 1970-80s, and while restoration work has been ongoing since then, there is still a long way to go due to the depleted condition of the ecosystem.
