Eco-school winners discover Desroches Island’s biodiversity
By Anika Cathene
Students who won an educational trip to Desroches Island after taking third and fourth positions following their involvement in last year’s eco-school competition for primary and secondary categories, returned to Mahe last Friday afternoon.
Six students, namely Srikrutha Beravelli and Maya Moulinie from the International School of Seychelles, Ariza Cadence from Praslin secondary, Dyanne Loizeau from Baie Lazare primary, Ezekiel Alcindor and Tara Kaizer from Independent school, went on the trip sponsored by the Islands Development Company (IDC). They were accompanied by teacher Karen Port-Louis of Baie Ste Anne primary.
Miss Port-Louis said during their four-day stay, the students had the opportunity to learn about the biodiversity and sustainability practices being undertaken on the island. The students were divided into various groups – IDC, Island Conservation Society (ICS), agriculture and Four Seasons Hotel – to explore the island and take part in various activities.
