Mauritius: Laboratory of Hope | Vincent Florens | TEDxPlainesWilhems

Conservationist Vincent Florens shares with us how other countries could solve their biodiversity loss through the conservation experience of Mauritius laboratory of hope.

Mauritius is at the forefront of biodiversity destruction with only 2 percent of native habitat left. Succeeding to rebuild and conserve biodiversity here can give hope and methods for other parts of the world where environmental loss is an issue. Vincent Florens is an Associate Professor of Ecology and former Head of the Department of Biosciences at the University of Mauritius. His main research interest is in the conservation of biodiversity in tropical terrestrial systems with particular emphasis on the impact of invasive alien species on the biodiversity of tropical forests. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
