🌿 Episode 5 of Island Voices for Nature is now live!
In this episode, we speak with Rachele Bhoyroo, Communication and Advocacy Coordinator at Eco-Sud, one of Mauritius’ leading environmental NGOs.
Through her work, Rachele has helped bridge environmental conservation with citizen engagement, social justice, and community resilience - from marine conservation and environmental advocacy to agroecology and grassroots awareness initiatives.
We explore how effective communication can inspire collective action, why community voices are essential in conservation, and how citizens, institutions, and young people can work together to protect Mauritius’ fragile ecosystems in the face of growing environmental challenges.
