There are few tropical rainforests in the world that have been left in their original pristine condition whilst free of all the nasty tropical diseases like zika or malaria – while there are close competitors in Australia and Singapore, there is no better example than the Seychellois island of Mahé's national park, Morne Seychellois National Park.
