Constance Ephelia Re-Establishes Mangroves

Constance Ephelia places a strong emphasis on biodiversity conservation as a cornerstone of its sustainability efforts. The resort has implemented a mangrove rehabilitation program in collaboration with community partners, transforming formerly barren “Dead Zones” into thriving ecosystems. Over 4,000 mangrove trees have been planted, monitored, and nurtured as part of this initiative. The resort also created the first mangrove nursery in Seychelles, where young trees acclimate to local environmental conditions, improving their survival rate. The resort encourages guests and community members to participate in reforestation activities and environmental awareness tours, contributing directly to the preservation of these critical wetlands.

To further support biodiversity of the local environment, Constance Ephelia has introduced honey bees to the RAMSAR site at Port Launay, producing Seychelles’ first Mangrove Honey. This innovative project, developed in partnership with the Seychelles Beekeeping Association, supports biodiversity through increased pollination and natural regeneration of mangrove ecosystems.
