The Black River Gorges National Park is located in the heart of the Black River Gorges-Bel Ombre biosphere reserve recognised by UNESCO since 1977.
This 6,574-hectare park is very popular among Mauritian hikers and is home to endemic and native species under restoration. Some of them, like the Mauritius kestrel and the Echo parakeet, were on the verge of extinction a few decades ago and have been saved through the dedication of the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF) teams. You can now see hundreds of them in the park, along with the Pink pigeon, the Red-whiskered bulbul and the Mauritius olive white-eye.
