Brendon Grimshaw, a British national, was editor to some of the most
important newspapers in Africa. But in 1972, he gave it all up to go and
live on Moyenne Island, which he purchased for ten thousand pounds. In
the thirty-six-years that he has lived on the island,
Brendon and his
friend, Rene Lafortune, planted sixteen-thousand trees, built 4,8
kilometers of nature paths, and brought and bred 109 giant land
tortoises, creating an island of incredible beauty now worth 34 million
Euros. Come with us on this journey and discover why an 82-year-old man
fears his island will one day be destroyed.
