Ebony Forest Mauritius

Ebony Forest Mauritius Once home to the Dodo, Ebony Forest, remains a refuge for threatened native flora and fauna. Remember, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

A registered non-profit (NSIF/2024/0016) with two decades of experience in ecosystem restoration, capacity building, and conservation awareness in Mauritius โ€” and proud to welcome the public to Ebony Forest Reserve Chamarel. Imagine one of the last remaining places on Mauritius where majestic black ebony trees stand tall and paradise flycatchers and Mauritius Black Bulbul chase each other through

the trees. Visitors will be treated to open-air safari jeep rides, breathtaking views from Sublime Point, mid-canopy walkways that leave you feeling as if you are floating amongst the trees. Then thereโ€™s the Ebony Experience, where you will witness 8 million years of history, from the volcanic eruptions that created the island and the unique animals and plants that once lived here, to the destruction brought about by manโ€™s actions.. Visit us and see our efforts to preserve and restore the forest and its inhabitants. We have planted over 147,000 native trees and weeded 21 hectares of forest over the last 15 years. With less than 2% of native forest remaining in Mauritius, come to Ebony Forest and join our Guardians of the Forest by planting a tree or sowing a seed. The second best time is now. You can also purchase your endemic plants from our native plant nursery and do your bit for the islandโ€™s natural heritage. Besides our ecotourism activities, we have an Ecology Centre designed to foster a sense of interest and responsibility in students from Primary through to College, for this formidable nature around us, in order to generate new Guardians of the Forest. If you are hungry, you can stop by our Sublime Point snack for some local delicacies and grab a souvenir at our boutique which has a selection of local artisanal products. May the Ebony Forest be with you.

At Ebony Forest, climate action starts on the ground. By restoring Mauritius' native forests, planting endemic trees, and protecting threatened species, we are helping to capture carbon, strengthen ecosystem resilience, conserve water resources, and create healthier habitats for wildlife.

Every endemic forest restored today is an investment in a more sustainable tomorrow. We can turn local conservation into lasting climate action.๐Ÿ’š
