Description

In the first ever episode of Wee Blue Dot, Dr Vikash Tatayah - Conservation Director at the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation - takes us on a journey exploring the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. We discuss conservation successes and failures, and what life has thrown at the paradise island over the last year. Learn about giant tortoises, endemic plants, island nature reserves, the infamous Dodo.... and the people at the heart of the "birthplace" of conservation.
