The whole concept of this project is based on two problems: the youths of Roche Bois who are left on their own to face drugs, prostitution and other potential criminal offences; and the solid waste disposal problem faced by almost all small island ( ... )
ping states.
The survey carried out by MPRB under GEF-SGP funding has shown that left on their own, the youths of Roche Bois (16-18 years old) are very vulnerable to dangerous practices into which they can be led if they are not coached and supported. Unemployment is dangerous for such vulnerable groups and AIDS a palpable threat.

Background
Today dolphins of the region of Tamarin are being harassed. Some days as much as 20 boats are around the same group of dolphins at the same time, chasing the animals around the bay. For the welfare of the animals, boat activities ( ... )
be managed in the area. However, this activity generates income for the country and decent jobs in the region.
Up to the year 2000, pods of spinner dolphin were living in the Tamarin Bay without disturbance. Delphine Legay came in Mauritius to perform a PhD study on the spinner dolphin population of Tamarin Bay. In order to fund her studies, Delphine started to take a few tourists out on

The project’s overall aim is to promote long-term waste recycling attitudes in the community of Roche Bois by targeting first a pollution problem that occurs daily in the neighbourhood and which is very visible: the littering of used plastic ( ... )
ts everywhere.
This is common knowledge nationwide: the region of Roche Bois has one of the worst, if not actually the worst, reputation across the whole island as being a deprived zone, stigmatised due to poverty, ethnicity, low level of education, vulnerable to social problems, high level of unemployment. Non-Roche Bois residents nearly unanimously consider the place as being highly dangerous

Responding to the programme of action for small island developing states concerning climate change and sea level rise, the UNEP is underpinned by the reality that the past and current emission has already committed the earth to ( ... )
gree of climate change in the 21st century. UNEP agrees that reducing uncertainties about climate change, its impacts and the cost of various response options is vital.
Therefore, the prudent policy portfolio of actions proposed by UNEP is at controlling emissions, adapting to impacts and encouraging scientific, technological and socio-economic research.

Following the “Super Fence” project, MWF has come a long way in preparing a Field Guide book. The book has been published in 13 copies and MWF would like to share its work and knowledge with schools, children, the general public in Mauritius and ( ... )
ted parties internationally. The aim of the book is to transmit the knowledge to the general public (children and adults alike) in recognizing the endemic Flora and Fauna from the introduced species. MWF is therefore requesting funds to publish the book in more copies and adopt a part of its content to produce a booklet for children.

Octopuses belong to the order, Octopoda and are salt-water invertebrate animals with eight arms or tentacles. Octopus is related to squid or cattle fish and is grouped with them in the same class as Cephalopoda of the Phylum ( ... )
ca.
They are found throughout the world, but are rare in the polar-regions. They may live in shallow water or at great depths, often in rock crevices or sand burrows. Octopuses have no shell or no fins but possess well-developed heads with complex eyes that are similar to those of vertebrates and these provide them with an excellent vision.
The octopuses swim by water propulsion, ejecting

This would thus address the climate change focal area of the GEF, by decreasing the quantity of waste going to the landfill and thus amount of greenhouse gases, while at the same time

Fishing is one of the largest employment sectors on Rodrigues, but declining catch sizes, regular landing of immature individuals and the skewed structure of the fish population illustrate that the fisheries are not sustainable. The techniques used ( ... )
fishers create further problems as trampling and deliberate breakage of coral cause substantial damage to the lagoon habitats. This is of particular concern as Rodrigues is part of the fourth most important reef ecosystem in the world. The unique nature of the island’s reefs is further highlighted by the presence of endemic coral and fish species.

Capacity Building in Compost making and utilization in Rodrigues
Introduction
Development of a sustainable agricultural industry in Rodrigues is highly dependent on having a rich soil base. This can be ( ... )
ed by continuously replenishing the soil with natural organic matter which can be obtained with compost. Composting would produce a material rich in nutrients, microorganisms and organic matter which will nourish poor and nutrient depleted soils where crops have been planted on a continuous basis. The application of composts regularly to soils would build up organic matter as well as enrich the

pigs.
Considering 15,000 m3 * liquid waste produced during the process of breeding, and with the excess of Phosphorus and Nitrogen in the system*, it is clearly a big issue to be resolved if we were to have an environmentally friendly approach to the problem.
This waste, if not managed appropriately, represents a potential hazard and direct threat to terrestrial and aquatic (underground
