The islands of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean are an exotic paradise, but they are also home to a variety of threatened plant and animal species. Thanks to award-winning conservationist Dr. Carl Jones, many of the island's residents have been brought back from the brink of extinction. It is because of his dedication to preserving the ecology and native species of these small, remote islands in the Indian Ocean – and saving a dozen species from certain extinction – that he is so esteemed in this field.
