Tackling ocean plastic in the Seychelles - Eden Project
Early in 2019 a team from the Seychelles Islands Foundation and University of Oxford carried out a huge clean-up of the remote lndian Ocean atoll of Aldabra, clearing 25 tonnes of rubbish in five weeks. Its rare birds, turtles and 150,000 giant tortoises are under threat from a deluge of ocean-driven trash. In August 2019 Sir Tim Smit of the Eden Project invited environmentalists from the Seychelles, Oxford and Cornwall to gather at Eden to show what the paradise island can teach the world about the scourge of ocean plastic.

Paradise islands with over 60 beautiful beaches of white sand and hidden coves, a densely forested interior and small towns with a unique Creole culture; welcome to the Seychelles.
The Seychelles, located outside the cyclone belt, enjoy tropical, warm climate all year round without extremes of heat or cold. Refreshing sea breezes and trade winds provides plenty of natural cool air year round. The average yearly temperature is an agreeable 29°C (84°F), and average sea temperature rarely dropping below 27°C (81°F). The cooler season in Seychelles is during the southeast monsoon season (May to September) and the warmer season is during the northwest monsoon (November to March).

Seychelles Amazing Islands Islands

The Seychelles Archipelago of 115 islands and islets comprises two groups of islands, markedly different appearance, stemming from their distinct geologies: the Inner Islands of granitic origin and the Outer Islands of coraline origin. They rise only a few metres above sea level but are covered with rich and dense vegetation
The Inner Islands are granite islands with a lush green, tropical vegetation is where the vast majority of the population lives. The Inner Islands are also home to the largest number of hotels and resorts. The main Inner Islands are: Mahé, Praslin, La Digue, Bird Island, Cerf, Chauve Souris, Cousine, Denis Island, Frégate, North Island, Round Island (Praslin), Silhouette and Ste. Anne.
The Outer Islands are coralline and rise only a few metres above sea level but are covered with rich and dense vegetation. They are more difficult to reach due to their remoteness; travel is via private yacht or small local planes. The Outer Islands are divided into five groups: the Amirantes group, the Southern Coral Group, Alphonse Group, Farquhar Group and the Aldabra Group.
The Seychelles are home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the legendary Vallée de Mai on Praslin where the wonderfully shaped Coco de Mer nut grows (Lodoicea), subject of various legends and lore and the mythical Aldabra, the world’s largest raised coral atoll, first seen by early Arab seafarers of the 9th century A.D.

SEYCHELLES NATIONAL BOTANICAL GARDEN.
SEYCHELLES NATIONAL BOTANICAL GARDEN.
സീഷെൽസ് നാഷണൽ ബൊട്ടാണിക്കൽ ഗാർഡൻ
One of the must see places in Seychelles for people with a love of nature is the Botanical Garden. Managed by the National Botanical Gardens Foundation since December 2009, it is located at Mont Fleuri, on the outskirts of Victoria, the capital.
Established in 1901 by a Mauritian agronomist, Rivalz Dupont, the 15-acre garden is one of the Seychelles’ oldest national monuments and is a living green heritage providing a quiet, green getaway with a 20-minutes walk from the busy town centre. The garden has developed into one of Victoria’s main tourist attractions. The garden opens at 7.30 a.m and closes at 5 p.m.
Coco de mer alley
The first thing to greet you as you enter the gardens is the sight of the biggest nut in the world -- the coco de mer. The most iconic of Seychelles' endemic plants, the Lodoicea Maldivica grows in its natural state in Vallee-de-Mai on Praslin, the island nation second-most populated island. In 1956 Duke of Edinburg planted the most fruitful Coco de mer palm in the Botanical Gardens.
Exotic and endemic birds
Among the endemic birds found in the garden are the fruit eating Blue Pigeon, locally known as the pizon olande, the nectar-sipping Sunbird or kolibri, and the Seychelles Bulbul or merl. Some introduced species have also found their home in the garden like the colourful introduced Madagascar Fody or Sren, the Indian Myna Bird or marten, the Malagasy Turtle Dove or tourtrel de zil and the Barred Ground Dove or tourtrel koko.
Cannonball tree
One of the most eye-catching exotic plants found in the gardens is the Cannonball tree, so named because of not only are the fruits as large, round and heavy as their namesakes but when falling to the ground, they often do so with loud and explosive noises. The cannon ball tree is believed to be native to South America, India and the Caribbean islands. This is an unusual tree which bears flowers and fruits along the trunk.The fruit emits an unpleasant odour and can be used as an insect repellent just by rubbing it to the skin or clothes.
Giant land tortoise
An added attraction to the gardens is the population of giant tortoises originally from the world heritage site of Aldabra. They are one of the top attractions at the botanical garden as one can get up close to one of the creatures that grow to a very old age. The tortoises are in an enclosure dedicated to these oldest inhabitants of Seychelles. These majestic creatures can live up to over 100 years and populated our islands well before the first settlers arrived
Exotic flowers
The garden is also home to a variety of local and exotic flowers such as the heliconia, the rose of Venezuela, the Pride of Barbados, Ylang-Ylang, Frangipani, different colours of hibiscus as well as a collection of exotic and endemic orchids in attractive colours.
Fruits and spices
Exotic fruits found in the gardens include the durian notorious for its strong smell which was introduced to the gardens in the early 1970s The rambutan locally known as letsi plim can be also found in the gardens. The Aromas of spices can also be smelled from the garden from nutmeg, vanilla, clove, and many others.
