🦇🌱 Endemic Life of the Month
This October, let us meet the Rodrigues Fruit Bat (Pteropus rodricensis), a unique animal with a remarkable conservation journey. The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation and its partners have conducted native habitat restoration, an impactful awareness campaign, and encouraged legal protection. Once on the brink of extinction, this species has made a strong recovery. From a low of 30-100 bats in the early 1970s, we now record over 27,000 individuals: a powerful example of how committed conservation action can avert extinction!

Between 2021 and 2025, the European Union supported the preservation and restoration of ecosystems in the Grande Montagne Nature Reserve in Rodrigues. Together we removed invasive alien plants, grew native and endemic species, and replanted these in the reserve, whilst also creating green jobs and raising awareness on biodiversity and climate change.

The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) has endorsed the Nairobi Flyways Declaration, strengthening international cooperation on the conservation of migratory birds. The declaration was signed in Nairobi, Kenya, during the BirdLife International’s Global Flyways Summit, in September 2026, which brought together partner organisations, governments, scientists and financial institutions from around the world to address the decline of migratory bird populations and the protection of their flyways. Dr Vikash Tatayah, CEO of the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation, represented MWF at the summit.
A central focus of the discussions was the need for coordinated action across entire migration routes, known as flyways, which connect breeding, stopover and wintering sites across continents and oceans.
