Ile aux Aigrettes is a small island situated in the Mahebourg Bay, about 850 m off the south-east coast of Mauritius.Unlike the mainland which is of volcanic origin, Ile aux Aigrettes is made up of coralline limestone. Like the mainland, Ile aux Aigrettes was affected by tree logging and land clearance, and the introduction of exotic animal and plant species almost destroyed the native fauna and flora.
A nature conservation site since 1965, the island is preserved by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF). The foundation has put impressive efforts to restore the original forest and reintroduce rare species like the aldabra giant tortoise and birds such as the Mauritius Fody and the Pink Pigeon.
