The Aldabra Atoll, Seychelles, is a jewel of the Indian Ocean and its geographical isolation, rough terrain and scarcity of fresh water have deterred large human populations from settling. As a result, Aldabra is significantly less disturbed than other atolls worldwide. It remains as a universally outstanding example of a coral atoll and, in 1982, was inscribed as a UNESCO Marine World Heritage Site. Famous for its limestone ‘champignon’ terrain, huge population of giant tortoises and relatively pristine marine life, the atoll is a refuge for many endangered and unique species. The Eco-Schools trip affords young Seychellois scholars, with a keen interest in the environment and conservation, the opportunity to visit this marvel on an education field trip like none other.
