In 1962, Brendon Grimshaw bought a deserted island in the Seychelles for £8,000, and spent the next 40 years transforming it into a nature reserve to protect endangered species.
He planted over 16,000 trees, built 5 km of paths by hand, and welcomed 120+ giant tortoises back to the island. Thanks to his work, Moyenne is now a national park — and no hotel or resort was ever allowed to buy it.
Proof that one person really can make a lasting impact.
