„« Worked on Round Island for the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) which is an offshore islet, situated 22.5 km off the north-east coast of Mauritius, with an area of 214 ha and high point of 280m. It is also an internationally important seabird island. It has the only Indian Ocean breeding colony of Trindade Petrel. Round Island holds important colonies of Wedge-tailed Shearwater, Red-tailed Tropicbird and possibly also the White-tailed Tropicbird in the Mascarenes. Breeding Bulwerˇ¦s Petrel and Black-winged Petrel have also recently been found on Round Island, the only known breeding ground for these species in the Indian Ocean. Accessibility is either by boat or helicopter, living is communally based; everyone is expected to take his or her turn.
As Round Island Head Warden, my responsibilities include:
Planning and continuing the native plants restoration program, monitoring the nest sites and: collecting morphometrics data of sea birds, ringing new birds on the island monitoring the population of reptiles endemic to the islet (e.g. Round Island boa and Guenther`s Gecko), maintenance of the field station infrastructure ensuring that all the machineries (Strimmer, generators, jackhammer) are in good conditions., overseeing staffs/ students from other institutions, planning expeditions to the island, maintaining high quarantine standards, health safety, implementing restoration plans and drafting reports. (From September 2007 to October 2008).
„« Worked as a Research Assistant with Mr Nicolas Zuel, who is conducting work towards a Phd project which is registered at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) in collaboration with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) which aims to describe a fully quantified food web of the entire reptile community of Round Island and assess the feasibility of translocating Telfairˇ¦s skink on Ile aux Aigrettes as a preparation for the translocation of the Keel-scaled boa and Guentherˇ¦s gecko. (From June 2006-July 2007). |
