| Information |
Boudeuse
lies at the southwestern corner of the Amirantes.
It has what is possibly the largest surviving colony of Masked Booby
in Seychelles, though precise data is lacking. Landing is very difficult,
even in calm conditions, but the island has suffered from the attention
of poachers. It is also protected under the Wild Birds Protection
(Nature Reserves) Regulations and again because it is uninhabited
and remote little is known of the size of the colonies and the impact
of poaching. Yet, it is possibly the least spoiled sand cay in the
Indian Ocean and is believed to have no introduced vegetation. |
