In the run up to the elections, there appears to be a lot of misinformation spreading about Assomption Island: its lease, the impact of the planned development, and what’s truly at stake. On the Seychelles Daily Facebook group, former IDC chairman, Mr. Patrick Berlouis, clarifies some facts about Assomption. Beyond all the noise, one thing remains crystal clear: Assomption is a place of extraordinary natural value: 🌿 Home to endemic geckos and grasshoppers found nowhere else on Earth 🦋 Known as the butterfly capital of Seychelles 🐢 A critical nesting site for sea turtles 🪸 It’s sea filled with beautiful and healthy corals It’s heartening to see how deeply Seychellois care about our islands, our wildlife, and our shared natural heritage. It’s part of our heart and soul. 🕊️ Know the truth. Protect Aldabra. Protect Assomption. Thanks to @evileyelander for the photos. #ProtectAssomption #ProtectAldabra #Seychelles
