Population
The first to settle on the island were the Dutch who made Mauritius one of their most important bases on the way to the Indies. Even today many toponyms recall the Dutch presence which, through the Company of the Indies, is also linked to the first economic exploitation of the island with the cutting of ebony wood and the introduction of sugar cane plantations. With the French conquest the latter, in the century. XVIII, received a further boost, also favored by the copious introduction of slaves from Africa. When slavery was abolished, the Creole planters, descendants of European settlers, who had in the meantime become English subjects, resorted to Indian labor. Thus began that recruitment of men, mostly from Malabar, which within a century introduced just under half a million Indians to Mauritius. The Chinese also came with the Indians and soon the island suffered the first evils of overpopulation; despite emigration (Mauritians go everywhere, Madagascar, South Africa, Australia, Europe, etc.), the population, which in 1961 was 680,000 residents, has almost doubled and is mostly made up of Indians (67 %), with a minority of Chinese (3%), while the rest is made up of Creoles (27.4%) and others (2.6%). The density is very high: 617.1 residents / km² and is the result of an uneven distribution in which the opposite realities of the capital and Black River districts coexist. The population lives settled in the numerous towns or villages built along the roads of the island. The main city is the capital Port Louis, an active seaport and home to major industries. All on the inner plateau are the other main centers, such as Beau Bassin-Rose Hill, Curepipe, Vacoas-Phoenix and Quatre Bornes.
Environment
Forest exploitation, the expansion of sugar cane cultivation and the use of pesticides have devastated the ancient and luxuriant subtropical forests, reduced to a few strips on the hills of the southern area; elsewhere there is a secondary forest represented above all by several palms, including the traveller ‘s tree. The introduction of new animal and plant species contributed to the breaking of the equilibrium of the past. Wildlife reflects the plant environment, scarce almost everywhere except in the country’s only national park, the Black River Gorges. Macaques and wild pigs are the most common species; the islands are also populated by numerous species of birds, such as the gracula europea, the bulbul and the red fody of Madagascar, although the native ones are almost all extinct, such as the dodo, a bird without wings, the last specimen of which was exhibited in London at the end of the century. XVIII. Unfortunately, the threat of extinction still hangs over many species today, such as the kestrel, the Mauritian parakeet (a medium-sized parrot) and the pink pigeon. The sea is also very rich in fauna: corals, morays, sharks, turtles, dolphins, whales and countless species of fish live here. The deterioration of coral reefs and the conservation of its wildlife exacerbate the archipelago’s environmental problems. However, there is a marine national park, the Baie de lʼArsenal, which falls within 0.73% of the country’s protected areas.
