Menai Island, Cosmoledo Group, Outer Islands of the Seychelles, October 1907: A Scene of Mangrove Bark Harvesting and Drying This evocative photograph captures the Menai Island in the Cosmoledo Group of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, as it was in October 1907. The entire island, with its lush vegetation and pristine beaches, seems to have been transformed into a bustling hub of mangrove bark harvesting and drying. The mangrove trees, with their distinctive prop roots, stretch out towards the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, their bark providing the focus of this industrious scene. The laborers, dressed in simple clothing, work tirelessly to harvest the bark, which is then spread out to dry on the sun-kissed shores. The storehouse in the background serves as a testament to the scale of this endeavor, with its walls filled to the brim with dried mangrove bark. The Menai Island, located over 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from Mahe Island, was a remote and secluded place in 1907. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the islanders during this period, as they harnessed the natural resources of their environment to sustain their livelihoods. The mangrove bark, a valuable commodity, was used for various purposes, including the production of charcoal, tannins, and medicinal remedies. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Seychelles, a tropical paradise in the Indian Ocean. It invites us to reflect on the interconnectedness of human communities and their environment, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
