Island Conservation Society (also known as Fondation pour la Conservation des Iles in French and Sosyete pour Konservasyon bann Zil in Creole) was registered as an NGO in Seychelles in April 2001. Island Conservation Society owns and manages Aride Island Nature Reserve, one of the finest nature reserves in the western Indian Ocean. We have also signed an agreement with Islands Development Company (IDC) to advise and wherever necessary manage environmental and conservation issues on outer islands under the lease of the IDC. Conservation centres have been established on Alphonse and Desroches with further projects planned.
