L’orange-tailed skink disparaît de l’île Plate

Mauritius News Team on May 30, 2011.

orange tailed skinkL’orange-tailed skink, reptile endémique de Maurice, a disparu de l’île Plate. C’est le triste constat qu’a dressé la Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (MWF), lors d’une visite sur l’île récemment. Alors que l’île abritait 2,000 orange-tailed skinks par hectare dans un passé récent, les officiers de la MWF n’en ont trouvé aucun lors de cette visite organisée pour collecter quelques spécimens et les envoyer en captive breeding à Kew Gardens en Angleterre. “Ce sont les rats musqués qui sont à l’origine de cette disparition. Ils sont sûrement arrivés sur l’île Plate suite aux manquements dans les méthodes de quarantaine”, indique Vikash Tatayah de la MWF. Soulignons que l’île Plate avait été allouée à bail à un promoteur touristique. Selon toute vraisemblance, ce bail sera annulé suite au non-respect des normes préconisées.

À l’heure actuelle, les seules populations restantes du reptile endémique se trouvent sur l’îlot Gabriel (vis-à-vis de l’île Plate) et sur le Coin de Mire. “Par mesure de prévention, nous avions envoyé plus de 350 orange-tailed skinks sur ces deux îlots, mais nous n’avons pas de garantie que leur survie sera assurée là-bas. C’est une question de temps avant que les rats musqués ne débarquent sur l’îlot Gabriel. Avec le manque de contrôle constaté sur le Coin de Mire, le reptile pourrait avoir des difficultés à survivre.”

The picture you have displayed is of the Algerian orange-tailed skink, not the Mauritian orange-tailed skink, which can be viewed on the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation’s website
