🌊 "Wake up! Our islands are tiny. We can't afford to just have a policy of selling them off left, right and centre." Christine, a Seychelles resident, cuts through the noise with an urgent message about Aldabra—one of the Seychelles' most valuable resources. A luxury development near this UNESCO World Heritage site threatens to unleash uncontrollable damage on a pristine ecosystem. 💬 "It's going to be incredibly hard to control what happens down there. It's going to be very difficult to control what comes in... We need development obviously, but it has to be done in the right way. We have laws in this country and they must abide by them." 🚨 For decades, Aldabra's isolation has been its protection. Now that sanctuary faces its greatest threat. This isn't just about one island—it's about whether we value true conservation over short-term profit. 🔗 Stand with the Seychellois people.
