This video is a compilation of excerpts from President Herminie’s State of the Nation Address delivered this week on Tuesday 27th January. In his speech, the President publicly committed to: 🌊 protecting Seychelles’ oceans, forests, reefs and islands ⚖️ governing transparently and in the public interest 💚 putting long-term environmental protection before short-term profit 🌱 safeguarding the future for generations to come Friends of Aldabra hopes to see these commitments translated into action through: ➡️ The President upholding his commitment to enforce the stop notice for at least one year, ensuring a comprehensive biodiversity assessment is carried out ➡️ Clarity around the Assomption Task Force: including its mandate, membership, and how the public will be meaningfully engaged in shaping decisions about the island’s future As Seychelles marks 50 years of Independence, these words, commitments and their translation into action shape legacy. As always, Friends of Aldabra is watching.
