Natural Attraction, Reserve/Zoo

Ebony Forest has been working on a habitat degradation remediation project since 2006 to create a sanctuary for the island's unique and rich biodiversity. Their ecotourism activities help raise funds for environmental projects. Education, training and volunteer programs aim to raise awareness and develop responsibility for the island's natural heritage. The forest conservation team works tirelessly to weed, plant and cultivate native and endemic plants. Since June 2017, the rare ebony forest has been open to visitors. Here you can observe endemic bird species such as the pink dove and echo parrot, or go on a guided tour with experienced conservationists in search of the Mauritian kestrel. You can enjoy a jeep safari tour or walk along the 300-metre elevated walkway through the ancient forest. Those interested can take part in tree planting and visit the Ecological Center. Special interactive activities are available for school-aged children. And, the Ebony Experience museum will tell you about a period of history of 8 million years.
