In 1973, Christopher Cadbury funded the £40,000 purchase of a Seychelles island stripped for coconuts and seabird eggs; today over 1 million seabirds breed there each year

Aride Island, once diminished by exploitation, has transformed into an essential haven for seabirds.

Thanks to Christopher Cadbury's visionary investment in 1973, it was designated a nature reserve.

Continuous efforts in ecological restoration have revitalized the habitat, leading to one million breeding seabirds from ten distinct species.

This remarkable revival illustrates the profound significance of preserving natural environments beyond mere economic gain.
