As Europe has turned its focus this week to sustainability and green best practices so had Reunion joined into the fun this weekend wiht three days of high profile activities.
The island’s people, businesses and tourism industry over the coming three days will celebrate the Festival Vaniy, aimed to preserve and protect the often unique biodiversity on the island and the wild landscapes in the interior, which often have hardly been touched by man.
In fact is Reunion one of only 34 designated biodiversity hotspots around the world, all the more a reason to be alert to the dangers of pollution and environmental degradation.
The highlights of the weekend activities were just shared by IRT, Ile de la Reunion Tourisme, which is at the forefront of participating in the events:
