The Civil Society has long been at the forefront of environmental advocacy in Mauritius - raising awareness, advocating for stronger governance and mobilizing citizens to protect the country's biodiversity. This episode features Adi Teelock, a historian, environmental advocate and active citizen, who has spent decades championing environmental protection, social justice and sustainable development in Mauritius. She explores how Mauritius' environmental challenges are deeply rooted in the country's history, why protecting nature is inseparable from addressing inequality, and how informed citizens can help build a more sustainable and inclusive future. Island Voices for Nature is a production of the UNDP Mauritius and Seychelles Multi-Country Office. The podcast series brings together environmental advocates, scientists, conservationists, policy makers, youth leaders and sustainability champions to discuss the present and future of our islands. Together, we explore climate resilience, ocean governance, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development and the human connection to nature. © 2026 UNDP Mauritius and Seychelles.
