History• In the early 80’s Rodriguans knew nothing about
native flora and fauna of Rodrigues• It was only volunteers coming from the U.K. who
came on and off to look for native plants and count the endemic birds and bats;
e:g Wendy strahm wrote the RED DATA BOOK of Rodrigues
• Past researches work in isolation without the population being involved
• This initiative was funded by WWF

The change• In 1998 when Richard Payendee joined the
Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) and started working with the foreign volunteers.
• MWF started a new project and vision in Conservation involving the local community (year 1999)

Recruitment of Volunteers• MWF started a national champagne how to
protect the native flora and fauna of Rodrigues ( Grande Montagne, Anse Quitor, Ile aux Cocos)
• Talks was given on radio, in schools, in village communities to invite people to come and help for free as fund was not available to pay salaries.
