Each year, WPC selects a dedicated biologist from applicants across Canada to undertake a 3-month course at the Durrell Conservation Academy in the U.K. followed by a 6-month internship on the islands of Mauritius and Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. This is an opportunity unlike any other for young Canadians to learn firsthand how the world\u2019s most successful conservation recovery programs are managed and to bring this knowledge and experience back to improve Canada\u2019s conservation capacity.

Just a few degrees north of the tropic of Capricorn, the Mauritian sun shines in a league of its own, and my surprise was quickly \u201ceclipsed\u201d by gratitude shortly after I was handed this alien substance. The intensity of the sun over this region once sustained lush, palm-rich forest across Mauritius\u2019 lowlands and her offshore islets, which thrived from the seed dispersal of a reptile-dominated fauna community. However, most of this habitat (and thus its reptilian residents) were decimated by rabbits and goats introduced by colonists in the early 19<sup>\u00e8me<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<p>Invasive mammals were eradicated from Round Island in the 1980s in an attempt to preserve the world\u2019s last remnant of palm-rich forest, creating a unique opportunity to restore the island\u2019s ecosystem to the condition of its pre-colonial era. Since then, over 29,000 individuals of 52 flora species that were present prior to colonization have been planted! Round Island is internationally renowned for its success in island restoration, and it is used as a model for restoration projects across the world. I feel incredibly lucky to get to contribute in a small way to its ongoing story\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Seed Collecting and Sowing<\/h3>\n<p>Near the end of fruiting season, seeds are collected from around the island and sown in a plant nursery just above the field station. Soil is collected from troughs that catch eroded soil and tortoise dung (an excellent fertilizer) on the \u201cbig slab\u201d \u2013 a rocky, sloped face of the island \u2013 \u00a0and mixed with perlite and cocopeat transported from the mainland to make a fertile planting soil.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-7hdwe0k-d05e2da22d8b03c82364e47e0d010209 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7916cd0-8d8cd615d8409b8f9295a1b60d8d50f2\">\n.avia-image-container.av-7916cd0-8d8cd615d8409b8f9295a1b60d8d50f2 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-7916cd0-8d8cd615d8409b8f9295a1b60d8d50f2 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-7916cd0-8d8cd615d8409b8f9295a1b60d8d50f2 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-10  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   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-47514 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47514 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RH-1-1-574x630.jpg' alt='' title='RH 1'  height=\"630\" width=\"574\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-6ibj02c-044c7c4262309724118719f546904b1c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzlif0nr-1732b717405248f1630c35861115b7bf\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlif0nr-1732b717405248f1630c35861115b7bf img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlif0nr-1732b717405248f1630c35861115b7bf .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lzlif0nr-1732b717405248f1630c35861115b7bf av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-12  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   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-47515 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47515 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RH-2-570x630.jpg' alt='' title='RH 2'  height=\"630\" width=\"570\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-j5ne10-f6498761e392f7de8bf28444c501901e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lwktbop1-e976aaaed826c3d81310153ab21e231d'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Left: Natural erosion trough.

This is not a task to be left to the end of the month; with multiple secondary and even tertiary plants sprouting from most of the pots (remember: our planting soil is mixed with tortoise dung, containing seeds from many delicious plants), our most recent pest inventory took six hours to complete, documenting 1,700 individuals of 23 plant species!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_2'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap 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-47508'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzlirwaz-65466c0761d94a66824251e816c8c831\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlirwaz-65466c0761d94a66824251e816c8c831 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlirwaz-65466c0761d94a66824251e816c8c831 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lzlirwaz-65466c0761d94a66824251e816c8c831 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first  inner-blog-banner-full-width-img'   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-47523 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47523 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RH-7.jpg' alt='' title='RH 7'  height=\"671\" width=\"503\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lzlip6zq-b3ed43e8c05f0c6a52f1c146f471a773'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Passing through the digestive system of a giant tortoise helps several plant species germinate more successfully!<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Hardening<\/h3>\n<p>After six months in the big nursery, the plants are assessed, and if they are deemed strong enough, they are repotted once more for their final stage of parental supervision (that\u2019s us!) before moving out and getting a place (plot of land) of their own. This stage is called hardening, a process that involves gradually exposing the plants to outdoor conditions, enabling them to withstand the harsh environment they will face when planted in the field.<\/p>\n<p>As SPF 85 does not work on plants, both nurseries are fully enclosed by tightly woven mesh to protect their occupants from the sun. During hardening, plants are first moved to a partially sheltered bench nearby, so they are exposed to the sun for about half of the day, but continue receiving water daily. Once acclimated, they are moved to a slightly less protected bench, here receiving sun for two thirds of the day, and water every second day. And so, the acclimation process continues, until eventually, they are receiving full sun all day and water every fourth day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='flex_column av-32rjoqc-432796f0e802b1544914ab6f7bf2c1a8 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2kf1e7o-7b31876223b123e9e6396c076be2af41\">\n.avia-image-container.av-2kf1e7o-7b31876223b123e9e6396c076be2af41 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-2kf1e7o-7b31876223b123e9e6396c076be2af41 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-2kf1e7o-7b31876223b123e9e6396c076be2af41 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-28  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   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-47524 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47524 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RH-8-2.jpg' alt='' title='RH 8'  height=\"452\" width=\"603\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1whcqdw-dea55d063b937578a5359c815d7f9463 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-29  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_textblock  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzlimjuh-e3a984918fba58973758806e23ea5f78\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlimjuh-e3a984918fba58973758806e23ea5f78 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlimjuh-e3a984918fba58973758806e23ea5f78 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lzlimjuh-e3a984918fba58973758806e23ea5f78 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-30  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   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-47525 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47525 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RH-9.jpg' alt='' title='RH 9'  height=\"457\" width=\"610\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lzliyh8a-98f3a6cdf139e43bf220ad1b719118be'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Left: 100% sun and 50% sun hardening sites.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><em>Right: Plant hardening watering schedule.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Plant in the Field<\/h3>\n<p>The following rainy season, successfully hardened plants are transplanted into one of six restored plant communities on the island, which continue to follow a weekly watering and weeding schedule for two years \u2013 an important part of my weekly responsibilities.

It is assumed that, by this stage, the plants are strong enough to withstand the island\u2019s intense environmental conditions, and this assumption is usually correct. For example, the larger a plant grows, the more established its root system becomes, and more capable of accessing water deep beneath the surface, even after the surface has dried out. In short, the longer a plant spends in harsh conditions, the more capable it becomes of withstanding these conditions, and the more likely it is to continue surviving!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1rlu590-c01aa5e4e58fc6226fd122f181427fea av_one_half  avia-builder-el-34  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzlj2pl3-52ba1240006c3ae9f718f00f5c1f7964\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlj2pl3-52ba1240006c3ae9f718f00f5c1f7964 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlj2pl3-52ba1240006c3ae9f718f00f5c1f7964 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lzlj2pl3-52ba1240006c3ae9f718f00f5c1f7964 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-35  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   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-47527 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47527 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RH-11.jpg' alt='' title='RH 11'  height=\"650\" width=\"487\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-18h86z8-d1140216679ba6de573ada99020cc2f3 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-36  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_textblock  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lzlixle2-9ef0d93abbcea3736337d239522f4b19\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlixle2-9ef0d93abbcea3736337d239522f4b19 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lzlixle2-9ef0d93abbcea3736337d239522f4b19 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lzlixle2-9ef0d93abbcea3736337d239522f4b19 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-37  avia-builder-el-no-sibling'   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-47528 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-47528 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RH-12.jpg' alt='' title='RH 12'  height=\"643\" width=\"482\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lzlj3nnk-130cfb0aad10d2d5a8cec3e556bf4bcc'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Can you believe this tiny little Psiadia arguta (left) could one day become a fully functioning part of the ecosystem like this lush, fruiting planet on the right?
