This could have terrible consequences for wildlife within the park, with pollution, deforestation and…

Chagos Expedition Blog
The Chagos marine reserve, designated in 2010 and currently the world’s largest no take marine reserve, is a sought-after spot for marine research, setting baselines for conservation initiatives worldwide.
