André Labiche obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Management from Edith Cowan University, Western Australia, in 2002. His areas of expertise and interest include birds, invasive species management (particularly rodents), vegetation management, and ecosystem restoration.

He worked for several years with the Seychelles Ministry of Environment and, from 2005 to 2009, with the Island Conservation Society as Biologist Project Officer for the FFEM-funded Rehabilitation of Island Ecosystems project. He has extensive experience in invasive species management and has played a key role in several rat eradication projects on islands, including Conception, several islands of Cosmoledo Atoll, Grande Soeur, and Petite Soeur.

André is also highly skilled in monitoring techniques for landbirds, reptiles, invertebrates, and plants. Since 2013, he has been a key contributor to all monitoring and research activities of the Seychelles White-eye Recovery Programme, including the latest translocations conducted by the IBC between Île du Nord, Frégate, and Grande Soeur islands. He has also been involved in island translocations and monitoring of giant tortoises and terrapins.

In addition, André works part-time as a private environmental management consultant, focusing on invasive plant control, replanting native woodland (including mangroves), control of invasive birds, and providing input for Environmental Impact Assessments.
