Air Mauritius stays green with One take-off, one tree!


Bonjour!

Air Mauritius takes its Corporate Social responsibility very seriously, and as such has been running an initiative called One take-off, one tree for the past couple of years. Under this initiative in 2010, 9 408 plants were planted and propagated, out of which 3 408 trees were planted in Mauritius and 6 000 propagated in Rodrigues island.

In 2010, which was the International Year of Biodiversity, the United Nations Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity coordinated a global campaign “The Green Wave”. The campaign was a global outreach and awareness programme designed to educate a new generation of environmental champions about the importance of biodiversity and the consequences of its loss.

On 22 May 2010, which was World Biodiversity Day, Air Mauritius staff together with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation staff of Rodrigues, Airport of Rodrigues Ltd, volunteers of Marechal College and Port Sud Est Village participated in the Green Wave initiative. Over 100 endemic and native plants were planted on this special day at Anse Quitor Nature Reserve.

In Mauritius, employees of Air Mauritius together with school children and the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation planted trees on Ile aux Aigrettes island.

At Air Mauritius, we care about the environment and strive to continuously find new ways to improve our impact on it, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Until next time, au revoir!
