The Bois Marchand Cemetery in Mauritius was established in 1867 in response to the massive death toll exerted by a disastrous malaria epidemic that swept the island between 1866 and 1868. As all the aspects of Mauritian society are represented in the cemetery’s necrogeography, the still-active burial ground offers an ideal setting to examine life and death during the Indenture Period of the island’s history. This article examines the development, organization, environmental factors, and ecological aspects of this vast burial ground in view of the development of public health care and management.

生与死的分层隔离：毛里求斯布瓦马尔尚公墓的社会和环境特征

毛里求斯的布瓦马尔尚公墓 (Bois Marchand Cemetery) 于 1867 年建立，旨在应对 1866 年至 1868 年间席卷该岛的灾难性疟疾流行造成的大量死亡。由于公墓的墓地地理反映了毛里求斯社会的各个方面，因此仍然活跃的墓地墓地提供了一个理想的环境来审视岛上历史契约时期的生与死。本文从公共卫生保健和管理的发展角度审视了这个巨大墓地的发展、组织、环境因素和生态方面。
