Continuing our efforts to save Aldabra, we’re sharing more expert analysis of the impact of the Assomption Island luxury hotel development on Aldabra’s UNESCO World Heritage ecosystem. Dr. Carly Cowell, Acting Secretary General and Director of Conservation @yourbgci, emphasizes: 🏝️ « The island’s fragile ecosystems are highly sensitive to external disturbances, and large-scale development projects, such as luxury resorts, pose a significant threat to these natural habitats » 🐠 « The construction and operation of an upscale resort could lead to plant diversity loss, soil erosion, pollution, and the disruption of local flora and fauna » ⚠️ « Such environmental degradation would not only jeopardize the island’s biodiversity but also undermine efforts to preserve it for future generations » ⚖️ « While economic development and tourism can bring benefits to the region, these must be carefully balanced with the need to protect and conserve natural ecosystems » 🌍 « The island’s unique biodiversity is a valuable asset, not only to the local population but also to the global community, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure its protection » Expert warnings deserve our attention. Aldabra’s unique ecosystem deserves our protection. #SaveAldabra #ProtectAldabra #AldabraTortoise #BiodiversityMatters #Seychelles #IndianOcean #ScientistsSpeak #ActForNature #StopDestruction
