1 4 entities (3 FR / 1 UK) Léa TRIFAULT Tanguy NICOLAS UICN Comité Français Two extremes: From uninhabited and pristine to crowded and severely threatened Ecosystem profile for the Indian Ocean overseas entities
2 Population density (per km²) Extremely contrasting region Pop. growth (per year) Population (2013/2015 estim.) GDP per capita (2011) France % 67,087,000 31,536 La Réunion % 845,000 18,902 Seychelles % 90,000 10,317 Mayotte % 233,000 7,896 Mauritius % 1,261,000 7,449 Comoros % 785, Madagascar % 22,434, Îles Éparses N/A >100 N/A BIOT N/A >4000 N/A TN 2 densely populated ORs uninhabited OCTs Réunion richest Indian Ocean island Mayotte poorest EU overseas entity Socio-economic situation: located amongst some of the world s poorest countries High immigration rates (Mayotte) High unemployment rates (>25%) FL La Réunion (FR) Mayotte (FR) FL
3 Extremely contrasting region Environmental trends for populated ORs: Spread of invasive alien species (IAS): ca. 300 species Deforestation: ha/year in Mayotte (0.2% of natural forests remains) 5 projects to cut mangroves Poaching: sea turtles ( ), dugong Degradation of ecosystems due to poor agricultural practices Overfishing and illegal fishing Challenges: Economic growth while minimizing environmental impact Manage urbanization along with conservation FL La Réunion Mayotte Reunion & Mayotte FL
4 Extremely contrasting region Îles Éparses (FR) Bassas Da India British Indian Ocean Territory (UK) TP Îles Éparses (Scattered Islands), BIOT (a.k.a. Chagos archipelago): no permanent population, close to pristine ecosystems, attractive natural assets Environmental trends: Climate change impacts on tropical marine & terrestrial ecosystems Increasing threat by invasive alien species (IAS), mostly terrestrial (rats, cats) Illegal fishing JS
5 Biological importance of the region Ecosystem services in populated ORs: Mayotte reefs & mangroves: crucial role in lagoon & coastal life Tourism: diving ( 1.5 m), cruising / whale watching ( 1 m) FL CA CA NV Forests in La Réunion: limit landslides during cyclones, provide drinking water. Tourism (mainly outdoor activities): 10% private sector and employment, 1 st exports 400k visitors, 410 m (2013) AG FL FL
6 Biological importance of the region Uninhabited entities - Îles Éparses (Scattered Islands) & BIOT: Exceptional reef state: 1/4 of total healthy reefs in region with good resilience Fish biomass up to 7 times higher than other regional reefs Largest regional concentration of reef sharks (and improving) Important areas for bird and marine turtles nesting (~ 15,000/year) Sanctuaries to study global changes & elaborate solutions FLe JS JS
7 La Réunion # Species Endemism rate plants % molluscs % crustaceans 570? terr. reptiles 20 10% amphibia 2 0 birds 19 58% terr. mammals 11 9% mar. mammals 21 0 fishes 900+? corals 190+? insects % Existing biodiversity Great plant diversity with almost 50% endemism from Mascarene High terrestrial habitat diversity due to combination of altitudes and winds exposure Many endemic insect and bird species due to island s remoteness But 25% gone extinct (worldwide) since human colonization (exploitation, IAS ) KL TN GH CS
8 Mayotte # Species Endemism rate plants 774 6% molluscs % crustaceans 462? terr. reptiles 16 50% amphibia 2 100% birds 32 6% terr. mammals 10 0% mar. mammals 24 0% fishes 1000+? corals 450+? insects 400++? Existing biodiversity High site-specific marine diversity Home to 25% of world s marine mammal species Important bird migration route between East Africa & Madagascar >130 bird species observed, 32 nesting Ramsar site with 35 birds species More resilient insects and plants biodiversity than Reunion TN MD MD CA
9 Existing biodiversity Brisith Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), aka «Chagos archipelago» Over 10% of Indian Ocean reef cover 25% of region s low threat, healthy corals Up to 7x higher reef fish biomass than other regional sites 10 Important Bird Areas (IBAs): > 50 bird species on atoll,17 breed on atolls Home to largest land-living arthropod - coconut crab extinct on other islands JS JS JS
10 Existing biodiversity Îles Éparses (Scattered Islands) Juan de Nova Bassas da India Europa Madagascar Glorieuses Tromelin Large (esp. Glorieuses) healthy reef systems Each island an IBA Diverse flora on each island (diff. climates), with endemics on some. Europa Island (Ramsar site): 2 nd biggest regional nesting site for green turtles Nesting site for endangered birds Several bird and plant species extinctions during 20th century due to human activities TP TAAF JB
11 Threats and pressures on biodiversity Invasive alien species (IAS) main threat to biodiversity loss in all 4 entities Birds nesting in OCTs (uninhabited) Plants/habitats in ORs No regional IAS strategy Habitats destruction biodiversity urbanization/agriculture Limited land-use planning Lack of enforcement of Mayotte s biodiversity strategy Very demanding social context monopolizing most attention and means (local authorities to state institutions) DR CAt TN
