Uncover the Facts

A Qatari-backed luxury hotel has been approved on Assomption Island, part of the Aldabra islands which includes UNESCO World Heritage Site Aldabra Atoll —one of the world’s most pristine ecosystems. This project threatens over 400 endemic species, including giant tortoises, sea turtles, dugongs, migratory whales, and coral reefs.

• High biosecurity risk—invasive species could devastate Aldabra’s ecosystem.

• Massive habitat destruction—endangered wildlife at risk.

• Unregulated tourism & pollution—damaging coral reefs & marine life.

• Governance failures & conflicts of interest—local voices ignored.

• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was rushed—fails international standards.

• We’ve met with the Seychelles President & UN Ambassador to demand action.

• We’ve launched a global campaign with Earth Alliance, Avaaz, Greenpeace Africa, Reserva Youth Land Trust and Leonardo DiCaprio.

• We published a critical white paper exposing flaws in the approval process.

• We’re rallying 100,000 petition signatures by the end of April to stop this development once and for all.
