During Seychelles’ elections a few days ago, citizens made clear that stopping the large-scale luxury development threatening UNESCO-listed Aldabra atoll is a national priority. 🇸🇨🐢 Friends of Aldabra, in partnership with Reserva: The Youth Land Trust, has successfully submitted a new and urgent motion to the @iucn_congress calling on the international community to follow in the footsteps of Seychelles’ electorate. Motion 146 calls for the strengthening of international cooperation to safeguard local community voices and the transparent stewardship of World Heritage Sites.   The motion is co-sponsored by 14 organisations: @mission_blue @rewild @the_explorers_club @earthlawcenter @officialzsl @turtlesurvival @bluemarinefoundation @yourbgci @wildlifedirect @mrfasia @womenforconservation @ontheedge_org @durrell_jerseyzoo and @fundacion_ecominga #ProtectAldabra #Seychelles #SaveAldabra
