Grande Montagne Nature Reserve

[1] It is located in the high Grand Montagne mountains, in the central eastern part of Rodrigues.

It has several viewing points over the eastern part of the island, and a wide range of rare endemic plants.

The reserve is run by the national NGO, the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF).

The MWF and the Rodrigues Forestry Services have been conducting restoration work in the reserve since the 1980s.

From about only 30 birds, the population of the Rodrigues Fody reached 8,000 individuals in 2010, whilst that of the Rodrigues Warbler increased to over 4,000 individuals over the same period, in part due to the habitat restoration on Grande Montagne.
