| Praslin is the second largest island in the Seychelles and is the site of the Vallee de Mai Unesco World Heritage Site, where the rare coco-de-mer tree grows. |
| The Minister from the Seychelles cited Hawkbill Turtle shell and the Coco-de-Mer, the endemic double nut of the Seychelles as articles that warranted inclusion on the list. |
| A striking feature of the coco-de-mer is its resemblance to the torso of a black person. |
| The Seychelles have several rare-bird colonies and the fabled coco-de-mer palms, and may actually have more giant tortoises than the Galipagos. |
| A favourite with top fashion photographers, this idyllic location is also home to a unique palm forest, the Vallee de Mai and the heaviest seed in the world, the coco-de-mer. |
| Here is the only place on Earth you can find the gigantic coco-de-mer, the world's largest seed. |
