For this new episode of the extraordinary garden, Tanguy Dumortier takes us on a journey to the Indian Ocean, to the territory of the Dodo, an animal that is now extinct, on his way to Mauritius. Located off the coast of Madagascar, Mauritius remained uninhabited until the 16th century. Protected from erosion by coral reefs, it has endemic flora and fauna, unique in the world. Like the Mauritius cardinal, a passerine bird with incandescent red plumage, or the Mauritius gecko. This colorful lizard has the ability to move upside down. In the Mondrain reserve, the last native forest, lives the only endemic mammal on the island. The Mauritius fruit bat, a bat that brings the forest to life. In the Ferney valley lives the astonishing pink pigeon and the Mauritius kestrel. This small falcon is the emblem of the fight led by the Mauritians to preserve the extraordinary fauna of the island. Off the coast of Mauritius, lives a community of the largest carnivore on the planet, the sperm whale. In recent decades, the island's inhabitants have undertaken colossal efforts to help endemic species survive. Today, people have learned to love and protect these very special species.
