Air Mauritius Sustainability programme

"Connect and Protect"

Air Mauritius in partnership with the National Parks and Conservation Service, invites you to discover the unique biodiversity of Mauritius. Committed to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, Air Mauritius is dedicated to protect and preserve Mauritius natural heritage for generations to come. Join us on a journey of conservation and sustainable development as we celebrate our island’s natural treasures.

‘’Connect and Protect’’ focuses on the Mauritius Damselfly (Coenagriocnemis rufipes)

The Mauritius Damselfly (Coenagriocnemis rufipes), endemic to the island and measuring 2.5-3, features a delicate orange-red abdomen tip and graceful flight. Found near freshwaters, it helps control insect populations. Listed as endangered, its survival is threatened by habitat loss, invasive plants and water pollution, underscoring the need to protect wetland ecosystems.
