| National parks committee launched |
|
The Ministry of Environment has launched a new national parks committee with the aim of better maintaining and coordinating activities and developments in these reserves, which are scattered all over Mahe and other islands. The launching ceremony took place last week at the Maison Queau De Quincy, Mont Fleuri. According to the director of the Botanical Gardens, Mr Didier Dogley, who is also the chairman of this committee, the new committee will bring together all the organisations, be they governmental or non-governmental, that have something to do with the national parks in Seychelles to discuss and share ideas and concerns relating to the national parks, especially before the implementation of any project in these areas. Noting that in the past the Ministry of Environment had done different projects in the national parks, Mr Dogley said there was a need now to bring together the different actors concerned to contribute towards a programme to develop these reserves. Besides Mr Dogley the other members on the committee are Mr Michel Vielle (Director of Forestry) who is the alternate chairman of the committee; Mr Nirmal Jivan Shah (chief executive of Nature Seychelles); Mr Selby Remie (director of Conservation); Mr Ron Gerlach (chairman of Nature Protection Trust of Seychelles); Mr Lindsay Chong Seng (executive director of Seychelles Island Foundation), Mrs Frauke Dogley (director of Planning in the Ministry of Tourism); Mr Nigel Hoareau (senior Parks Officer with Marine Park Authority) and Mrs Zoritsa Nibourette (in charge of International Relations at the STMA). |
