In the past, the organization was known as The Mauritian Wildlife Appeal Fund and was created in 1984 under the help of Gerald Durrell and the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust.
The first program when the foundation was created was mainly concerned about the Pink Pigeon and the Mauritius which were two species considered as endangered as they were almost extinct species.
For the moment, the foundation is working on different species to conserve as the Echo Parakeet, Rodrigues Fruit Bat, Mauritius Fody, Mauritius Bulbul, Mauritius Olive White eye, Telfair’s Skink, Bojer’s Skink, Mauriitus Cuckoo-shrike.The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation is working on predator and pest control. They also have captive breeding programs for extinct species and endemic plant nurseries.
