Welcome!

Thanks for joining us!

As a republic made up of small, scattered, vulnerable islands and gigantic expanses of ocean, Mauritius faces several urgent and daunting challenges. But together, its people can rise up to them. Climate change, biodiversity loss and growing unsustainability are among the most pressing and pervasive challenges of all.

This site was launched in 2018 as a new initiative of Platform Moris Lanvironnman (PML). Six years later, it was in need of a broadening of its content to more closely fit PML’s areas of intervention since its creation in March 2010. Hence a new name from Mauritius Coastal Zones to Mauritius – Resilience and Rights.
The site proposes to present those challenges and the possible ways forward towards resilience. Hence the tagline: Mauritius, addressing the challenges across the ecological, environmental, economic and social pillars of sustainable development through a human rights lens.

The blog includes articles by PML and by individual members, articles and other material from outside sources, and information deemed to be of interest to the subject, including examples of good practices.

We present links to videos and other multimedia formats.

This site is meant as a space for respectful interaction and meaningful exchanges, for airing opinions and views, which are as far as possible evidence-based. We strongly encourage citing of references where applicable, including in comments posted.

Views expressed in articles by individual authors are not necessarily endorsed by Platform Moris Lanvironnman.

Platform Moris Lanvironnman (PML) is an informal network of NGOs and citizens actively involved in promoting sustainability in Mauritius. Collectively and individually, we engage in sensitization, education, policy advocacy, information exchange and capacity development. We participate in the restoration of ecosystems; in the analysis and formulation of policy and budget proposals. We contribute to public debates on local sustainability issues and environmental policy processes.
