For those of you not familiar with Seychelles, we are a group of 115 islands with a land area of 456 sq. km and 1.2 m sq. km of sea. We have a population of 93,000 with a diverse ethnicity which underscores our official languages of Creole, English and French.
About half of the area of Seychelles is protected which consists of national parks, including two World Heritage Sites as declared by UNESCO: namely the atoll of Aldabra which is home to giant tortoises and the famous botanical garden of the Vallée de Mai on Praslin which has the native Coco de Mer, the largest  seed in the world.
