Where are the most Pristine Places in the World? Even though civilization is all around us, there are still some parts of the globe where human influence is small where 10 places remain the most pristine. From the ice sheet of Antarctica to the jungles of Papua New Guinea, Seychelles is one we will discuss now.
Located in the continent of Africa, Seychelles covers 455 square kilometers of land, making it the 203rd largest nation in terms of land area. Seychelles became an independent state in 1976 after gaining its independence from The United Kingdom. The population of Seychelles is 90,024 (2012) and the
nation has a density of 198 people per square kilometer. n The currency of Seychelles is the Seychelles Rupee (SCR). n The people of Seychelles are refered to as Seychellois. n The dialing code for the country is 248 and the top level internet domain for Seychellois sites is .sc. n Seychelles does not share land borders with any countries.
Seychelles The Seychelles has the largest percentage of land under conservation of any country — just about 50 percent of the island nation is preserved. Because of that, the islands are home to some amazingly pristine beaches and species such as the national bird, the Seychelles black parrot. About 305 miles of powder-soft beaches line the islands, and relatively few visitors get there.
The Seychelles black parrot, Praslin parrot or kato nwar is a sombre-coloured, medium-sized parrot endemic to the Seychelles. Scientific name: Coracopsis barklyi Higher classification: Vasa parrot Rank: Species
