Synopsis
Nine minutes detail the history of Mauritius' forests, from early colonization to the effects of tourism on the land.
Synopsis
Mauritius features lush forests and diverse plant life, shaped by its colonial past. Dutch, French, and English traders established slave colonies on the island. Their ambitions affected the land, which is now increasingly homogenized for tourism. The voices of early colonists, writers, and poets recount the island's history. Distant drums echo as a reminder of marooned slaves. These elements intertwine, illustrating how history has influenced the island's current state.
