France Staub

France Staub (September 29, 1920 – July 2, 2005) was a Mauritian ornithologist, herpetologist, botanist, and conservationist.

In 1968, he visited together with Mr. Gueho Île Raphael and other St. Brandon islands including the critically important island, in terms of endangered species, of L'Île Coco before he subsequently published Birds of the Mascarenes and Saint Brandon in 1976.

France Staub was a visionary and is at the heart of the movement to protect and conserve the millions of birds on St. Brandon.

It is remarkable that during its 160 odd years of use by fishing companies, only one in the ten breeding species, the Red-footed Booby of Albatross islet, has now become extinct through the preying of wild cats and men.
