Green Roots – Endemic Plant Nursery for Ecosystem Restoration

The Green Roots – Endemic Plant Nursery for Ecosystem Restoration project aims to establish a fully functional native plant nursery to support small-scale reforestation efforts within the Le Morne Cultural Landscape. By propagating and cultivating endemic plant species, the project aims to restore degraded habitats, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen climate resilience. Located in the Le Morne area, where there is a high demand for native flora due to ongoing conservation programs, the nursery will contribute to the ongoing restoration efforts by CGC at PG Labonte Le Morne. Funded by the U.S. Embassy in Mauritius under the “The Ambassador’s Special Self-Help Fund for Mauritius 2024”, the project plans for creation of a nursery for endemic and native plant propagation. Under the project, CGC will engage and train local community members in plant propagation and reforestation techniques
