Thank you to @sbc.sc for featuring our interview from the Presidential Delegation visit to Assomption. We were grateful to be included on this trip. It was an important moment for us to see the island with our own eyes after a year of advocating for its protection. We appreciated the opportunity to witness the reality on the ground. Being there in person was confronting. The scale of construction, and how far it has already progressed, is very different from what anyone can grasp through images alone. As @victoria_duthil responds in the interview, our stance remains that: “Friends of Aldabra is anti, large-scale, destructive harmful development and anti-development that happens opaquely, non-transparently, where Seychellois people don’t fully feel like they are able to be included in the decision process.” Here is what continues to guide us: 🦈 We oppose large-scale, destructive development that could harm Assomption and, by extension, Aldabra. 🦋 We stand for transparency and inclusive decision-making, so Seychellois voices are genuinely heard. We are conscious that there are many different perspectives within Seychellois society. 🐢 Friends of Aldabra is and has always been apolitical. 🧭 Our compass is simple: Nature. Assomption. Aldabra. Friends of Aldabra remains committed to dialogue, accountability, and working towards a future that protects Assomption and Aldabra. #ProtectAssomption #ProtectAldabra #Seychelles #FriendsofAldabra
