MWF has been actively restoring the valley within Anse Quitor Nature Reserve since 1996.  This Nature Reserve, located near the Sir Gaetan Duval Airport, is nearly at sea-level, with coralline substrate, and in a relatively dry area. 

At present, about 14 hectares of the 34 hectare native forest have already been restored and many rare plants of Rodrigues have been planted in this reserve. 

Restoration involves the identification of a plot, thinning of invasive alien species, planting of endemic seedlings, followed by continued weeding and monitoring of plant survival.

 Anse Quitor is home to very rare endemic plants such as the Zanthoxylum paniculatum and Gastonia rodriguesiana.  Anse Quitor Nature Reserve has seen the planting of 3,000 endemic seedlings yearly up to 2008.  Since November 2009, MWF has intensified its work in this reserve and is restoring four hectares over two years.  Over 45,000 native and endemic seedling have been planted in this reserve since 2009.
