Rajeshreebhye Mahadea Nemdharry | Environmental effects | Research Excellence Award

Mrs. Rajeshreebhye Mahadea Nemdharry at Mauritius Sugarcane Industry Research Institute (MSIRI) | Mauritius

Rajeshreebhye Mahadea-Nemdharry is a researcher affiliated with the Mauritius Cane Industry Authority, Reduit, Mauritius, with a growing scholarly presence in geospatial and land-use studies relevant to sustainable development. According to Scopus records, she has authored two research documents and currently holds an h-index of 1, with one citation received from a single citing document. Her 2025 publication in Spatial Information Research, titled “Development implications of land cover change in Mauritius: a multi-temporal geospatial analysis of sugarcane contraction and built-up area expansion,” provides a focused and policy-relevant examination of land-cover dynamics in Mauritius. The study employs multi-temporal geospatial analysis to investigate the contraction of sugarcane cultivation alongside the expansion of built-up areas, highlighting how economic development, urbanization, and changing land-use priorities are reshaping the island’s traditional agricultural landscape. By integrating spatial data across time, the research offers insights into the environmental, economic, and developmental consequences of declining sugarcane areas, a sector historically central to Mauritius’ economy. The findings underscore the need for balanced land-use planning that supports urban growth while safeguarding agricultural sustainability and environmental integrity. Overall, Mahadea-Nemdharry’s work contributes valuable evidence for policymakers, planners, and researchers concerned with land-use change, agricultural transformation, and sustainable development in small island contexts such as Mauritius.
