Cousine Island gets endangered White-eye.  The Government of the Seychelles has finally given the green light for the transfer of the endangered Seychelles White-eye, s small perching land bird to Cousine Island.  This is incredible news as it represents the first time that a privately owned island has, using its own expertise managed to successfully lobby Government to initiate conservation action.  The transfer of approximately 30 birds is planned form June 2007.  Once this is completed Cousine Island will be home to more species of rare and endangered endemic land birds that any other Island in the whole of the Seychelles.
