What to see in Rodrigues

Leguat1891solitaire - The only known drawing of the Rodrigues solitaire by someone who saw the bird before it went extinct.

Like its bigger Madagascar|Madagascan and Mauritian neighbours, Rodrigues is known for its endemic yet vulnerable wildlife. The Rodrigues solitaire was the bird most closely related to the dodo, but suffered the same fate in the late 18th century and was hunted to extinction. The two endemic birds that remain on the island are the Rodrigues warbler and Rodrigues fody.

The Rodrigues fruit bat was on the verge of disappearing too; in the 1970s there were under 100 remaining in the wild. Since then, its population has grown to more than a thousand though it is still critically endangered.
