One year ago, we launched a global campaign to protect the wild beauty of Aldabra and her sister island, Assomption. Today, we can finally say it: ACTIVISM WORKS! 💪🎉 Thank you to all of our partners, everyone around the world who stood with us, every Friend of Aldabra, this milestone is yours too. 💚 Every door opened, every share, every digital action taken for Aldabra - it made a real difference: many drops make an ocean and we grew stronger wave after wave! 🇸🇨 After committing to stopping the construction of the Qatari-funded luxury resort, the President of Seychelles has now confirmed that an official Stop Notice has been filed, halting all construction activity. This is a huge milestone for nature, for Seychellois sovereignty, and for everyone who spoke out. This was an extraordinary movement of global solidarity to protect our shared World Heritage. But this isn’t the end. Leaked footage from the past weeks shows half-finished buildings and debris scattered across the island. We still need access, transparency, and a real say in what happens next. Independent access to Assomption for Seychellois and international experts, journalists, conservationists, and communities is critical. Only then can we understand the damage and decide on next steps. As we move forward, it’s crucial that we keep pushing to ensure: 🐢Nature has a seat at the decision-making table 🐋Seychellois voices remain front and centre. 🦀International attention and institutions help maintain pressure and accountability Let’s keep working, collaborating, supporting each other for Nature. 🌟🪸🐋🐠🐢🦎🦋🦀 Comment ACTION to get a link to all our latest @chilli.app actions! #ProtectAldabra #ProtectAssomption #Seychelles #FriendsOfAldabra
