Abstract

In 2011, Seychelles began a collaboration with The Nature Conservancy to restructure the country’s debt and plan a new conservation area. The so-called ‘debtfor-nature swap’ freed up funds from Seychelles’ cumbersome national debt, helping fund a new conservation area with ‘no-take’ and ‘sustainable use’ zones. The deal was finalized in 2016.
