Problems about similar projects that should be avoided: 1) no follow up 2) lake of visual/practical experience Though less attendee participated to the second stakeholders’ meeting, the contribution of the latter were rich in potential activities for the campaign. In addition 8 stakeholders gave their approval to join the Rare Pride advisory committee every three months to be able to follow closely and contribute directly in the campaign. 42
2. Developing the Concept Model The terrestrial habitat of the islets of the Bay of Mahebourg The Target Condition (TC) for this campaign has been identified as the terrestrial habitat of the islets found in the bay of Mahebourg, with a particular focus on four components of the biodiversity: the habitat of the native birds, the habitat of the native reptiles as well as the native birds and reptiles themselves. Thus the concept model illustrates how these 4 components are influenced by the threats and factors that influence the TC. Regarding the direct factors, invasive species is a main threat to the bird’s habitat (coastal lowland forest). The alien plants destroy and compete with the endemic lowland forest and this reduces the capacity of the endemic plants to propagate. On the other hand, invasive rats eat the eggs of endemic reptiles and birds, decreasing the population of the endangered fauna. Moreover invasive species lead to a reduction of prey and food for the flora and fauna. Another direct factor affecting the terrestrial habitat of the islets is the increasing number of people picnicking in the area. By doing so, people not only damage the coastal lowland forests through their activities ,mainly picnicking, barbecuing, and fire camps but they also directly act upon the habitat of the native reptiles and birds. Another direct factor influencing the target condition is pollution through dumping and littering as this is poisoning the natural habitat through leakage. Also, litter can be detrimental for the survival of endangered reptiles as they can get stuck and die inside open plastic bottles. Further, habitat destruction through deforestation devastates the coastal lowland forest, and consequently causes a reduction of prey and food for the native birds and reptiles. Tourism is a flourishing activity and important economic pillar in the area, and an underlying factor to many of the abovementioned threats. It leads to an increasing number of boats and people visiting, picnicking , polluting and, bringing invasive species to the islets and also is a factor driving development. However people’s lack of awareness about the biodiversity value of the islets and the damaging effect of tourism related activities on the target condition is identified as one of the main causes of these threats. Further, demographic pressure is one of the underlying 43
