In 1962, Brendon Grimshaw bought an abandoned island in the Seychelles for just $13,000. What most saw as lifeless wilderness, he saw as possibility.
With the help of a friend, he planted 16,000 trees, carved trails through dense jungle, and brought life back to the land. Birds returned. Giant tortoises roamed again. A forgotten island became a sanctuary.
He refused millions from developers, choosing instead to protect it forever. Today, Moyenne is the world’s smallest national park — a living legacy of one man’s vision, courage, and love for nature.
It began as a lonely patch of earth. He turned it into paradise.
