Information Desroches, to the east of Poivre, was the first atoll of the outer islands to open its doors to tourism and is connected to Mahé by regular flights. The presence of rats limits bird interest but Island Conservation Society has plans to implement conservation programmes in partnership with Great Plains, one of the operators on the island. The island has a good population of nesting turtles.
