| Information |
Virtually
untouched by the modern world, Aldabra is
often known as the jewel in the crown of
Seychelles'. It is the world's largest raised
coral atoll with the atmosphere of an untamed wilderness. There is
a small Research Station on Picard with a warden and staff of around
ten employed by Seychelles Islands Foundation. Otherwise
the atoll, one third of the landmass of Seychelles,
is uninhabited. Aldabra
was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
in 1982 as an outstanding example representing
significant on-going ecological and biological
processes. |
