Mais à Anse Quitor

Anse Quitor Nature Reserve

Anse Quitor Nature Reserve is a 34 ha nature reserve on the island of Rodrigues, established in 1996, and preserving one of the sole surviving pieces of the island's coastal ecosystem.

It is located in the south-west of the island, on the Anse Quitor peninsula, near to the Airport, and right beside the Francois Leguat Reserve. The landscape is near the coast, close to sea-level, and relatively dry. The vegetation grows on limestone and coral based soils.
