About Morne Seychellois National Park
The park was established in 1979, in order to protect Mahé's unique flora, fauna, and impressive landscapes (i.e. the island's mangroves, lush tropical jungles, and tall mountains), and now protects over 20 per cent of the island. Before the park was established, the park was the epicentre for the Seychelles' production of vanilla, cinnamon, and various other plants that were deemed good enough to grow just four degrees south of the equator; these were used for exploitation. Most of these plants were brought in, and many, including cinnamon, are now abundant throughout the Seychelles' forests. You can still find some old distilleries and houses from Mahé's agricultural era throughout the park. If you had to describe the park in simple words, it would be, a park covering most of Mahé's rain
