All these pains are trivial in the face of the exceptional flora and fauna that inhabit one of the only islands in the world without invasive mammalian predators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ldf7bclg-bb8dc15ff9b446d6f9ef3bf4864c2ebb\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ldf7bclg-bb8dc15ff9b446d6f9ef3bf4864c2ebb img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ldf7bclg-bb8dc15ff9b446d6f9ef3bf4864c2ebb .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ldf7bclg-bb8dc15ff9b446d6f9ef3bf4864c2ebb av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-35823 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-35823 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Giant-Aldabra-tortoise-amongst-native-palms-rotated-1.jpg' alt='' title='Giant-Aldabra-tortoise-amongst-native-palms-rotated'  height=\"1062\" width=\"1512\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ldf6x8hd-b3b9ac795d3ed2349a24d372baaefba3'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A Giant Aldabra tortoise amongst native palms.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2w0ww02-a1cde49d48558e679bda3cbe7a85c493'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Round Island was home to the last Mauritian giant tortoises, who were sadly driven to extinction in the mid-nineteenth century through over-harvesting. To fulfil the lost ecological roles of plant grazing and seed dispersal that the tortoises provided, Aldabra giant tortoises from the Seychelles have been introduced as an ecological replacement to the extinct tortoises, contributing to the conservation of the island ecosystem and other species.<\/p>\n<p>The tortoises that live near the field station are accustomed to the presence of researchers and always happy to receive a neck scratch. I was fortunate to witness a tortoise dig her nest in front of the field station and while watching her progress throughout the night, I was struck by how the remarkable process I was observing would not have happened without innovative conservation measures and years of restoration work on the island.<\/p>\n<p>From dawn to dusk the island is a stage to the extraordinary spectacle of hundreds of seabirds filling the sky with their graceful dances while at night their bizarre haunting songs fill the air. These island denizens link the terrestrial and marine environments, bringing much needed nutrients to the depleted soils.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2ktufgi-cf7d0f71684701da8dd5d748f938f5fc\">\n#top .flex_column.av-2ktufgi-cf7d0f71684701da8dd5d748f938f5fc{\nmargin-top:20px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-2ktufgi-cf7d0f71684701da8dd5d748f938f5fc{\nmargin-top:20px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2ktufgi-cf7d0f71684701da8dd5d748f938f5fc av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m8hns2-0f9db27babbe3fb9d3bc0877a6cd8ffc\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m8hns2-0f9db27babbe3fb9d3bc0877a6cd8ffc img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m8hns2-0f9db27babbe3fb9d3bc0877a6cd8ffc .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m8hns2-0f9db27babbe3fb9d3bc0877a6cd8ffc av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-35824 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-35824 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Red-tailed-tropic-bird-flying-high-scaled-1.jpg' alt='' title='Red-tailed-tropic-bird-flying-high-scaled'  height=\"1352\" width=\"2560\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ldf6yjfm-1c0a70093bbd29409be613c59662c490'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Red-tailed tropic bird, flying high.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ldf6yug4-1f75ec55bcb58655efc0b90a5fa412b7'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>At the foundation of the restoration work on Round Island is full life cycle plant care.
