Overview
The dodo is the universal symbol of extinction, yet little is known about the true nature of this vanished bird. Most people don't know that the dodo lived only on Mauritius, a beautiful tropical island east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Left undisturbed by humans, Mauritius and the dodo thrived until Europeans arrived in 1598. Less than 100 years later, the dodo and other island species disappeared in the wake of man. The dodo will never come back yet Mauritius and nearby islands are forging a new path in co-existence with not only man and the environment, but among religions and different races. What was once the site of the planet's most famous extinction could become a guiding light for an ever-increasingly connected world. Tom Parker became fascinated with Mauritius and neighboring islands on a layover during a global trek. He returned multiple times to extensively explore the islands, discovering dramatic tales about the spice trade, marooned rebels, waves of immigrants from Europe and Asia, and the island's natural bounty. Dodo Destiny examines the sad tale of the dodo and the fascinating history of Mauritius that shapes a truly multicultural society today.
