National Protected Area Day 2024

Today, we specially shine the spotlight on the invaluable natural treasures that our islands’ hold. Protected areas safeguard our biodiversity and serve as sanctuaries for diverse flora and fauna, ensuring their survival for generations to come. These remarkable landscapes, encompassing terrestrial national parks, reserves, marine parks, and gardens are not merely places of scenic beauty but also provide refuge for endangered species, support ecosystem, and contribute to the overall health of our environment.

On this National Protected Area Day, let us unite in our determination to preserve the ecological heritage that famously defines Seychelles. Together, we can ensure that our protected areas continue to thrive, inspire and provide solace. Let us also take this opportunity to recognize the crucial role of our rangers and officers, who have made it their daily duty to conserve our ecosystems, ensuring sustainability of our protected areas.
