Abstract
This chapter approaches a better understanding of population-development-environment interactions by providing a short multidisciplinary history of Mauritius which focuses on the primary agents of change over the last century — the human population (a more detailed account of population change in Mauritius is given in Lutz and Wils, 1991). Chapters 5 through 10 describe the environmental and economic spheres that form the context of human life on Mauritius influencing the population and being influenced by the population.
