THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE

By C. Ramful, Chief Forest Conservation & Enforcement Officer


Some people believe in God whilst others deny His very existence. The man of money and muscle assumes himself to be god. However, there is not an iota of doubt that all of them depend on Mother Nature for their subsistence and sustenance.




Mother Nature includes and encompasses everything that is not man-made. She relentlessly provides us with pure air, water, sunlight, eatable items and other natural resources which contribute to our meaningful and successful sojourn on this planet.

Our island Mauritius is profusely blessed by Mother Nature with a mild tropical climate, abundant sunshine, adequate rainfall, pleasant lagoons with velveted beaches and a safe forest landscape.


Forest in Mauritius plays a crucial role which is often overlooked and underrated inspite of all the valuable goods and services it generously offers the nation. These goods and services are the outcome of the three main functions of the forests which are environmental, economic and recreational/ socio-cultural.

Our forests tirelessly supply us with pure air, clean water, timber, fruits, flowers, medicinal plants, fodder, game animals, vegetal fibres, x-mas trees, honey, wood for cremation and other religious purposes and at the same time being a most coveted haven for jogging, trekking, shooting, fishing, picnicking, relaxing and meditating.

The citizens of Mauritius should consider themselves uniquely fortunate and blessed for all these precious gifts from Mother Nature and should never hesitate even for an instant to say “ THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE”.
