The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation is committed to education and raising awareness as core components of the conservation of biodiversity. Although we participate in a wide range of education initiatives, our main focus is on delivering the conservation message on Ile aux Aigrettes and in Rodrigues. 

In Mauritius, we have always taken the opportunity to promote our work, and the visitor programme on Ile aux Aigrettes enables us to provide Mauritians and tourists with the chance to experience conservation in action. The main tours that we offer are:

• Guided ecotours – available to members of the public (see Visit Ile aux Aigrettes for more information)
• Learning with Nature tours – specifically designed for lower secondary students, but visits from younger or older classes are also welcome.

We also visit schools and other institutions on request, to talk about environmental and conservation issues, participate in exhibitions, give interviews to the media and are collaborating with education authorities in Mauritius to make conservation information and resources available to science teachers. Most of our education and awareness activities in Mauritius are now sponsored under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.
