To achieve this goal, they must fulfil certain basic roles :

  • To develop knowledge and scientific monitoring of heritage
  • To conserve, manage and, when necessary, restore natural and cultural heritage and landscapes
  • To promote practices that preserve heritage and foster sustainable development
  • To make the national park status an asset for the local area,
  • To raise awareness, organise activities and provide information on the conserving regional heritage
  • To provide public access of quality in line with preserving heritage
  • To involve local stakeholders in administering national parks
  • To contribute to regional, national and international sustainable development and heritage protection policies

Reunion National Park manages the «Pitons, Cirques and Remparts» UNESCO World Heritage site. It also prioritises natural heritage activities’ by controlling invasive species, in favour of the conservation and restoration of the well preserved ecosystems of the Mascarene Islands and protecting endangered species.

It also assists the island’s economic development via its charter, and promotes Reunion’s oustanding heritage.
