バリ島からあなたへ。
日本は敬老の日で3連休みたいですね。
生憎台風が近づいているため外出できない方も多いのでしょうか。
こちらバリ島は少し雨季が近づいてきた気配で
ムシムシほどではありませんが
暑さが増してきたような気がします
話はかわりますが、
前回もお知らせしたスミニャックのWホテルさんから
ウミガメの赤ちゃんの続報と
彼らが戻っていく海、そして巣立ちの海岸をキレイにするための
クリーンアップ運動が行われたニュースが届きましたので
下記にてお知らせいたしますね。

Bali, Indonesia – September 15th, 2012. W Retreat & Spa Bali – Seminyak shows support for environmental initiatives by taking part in the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) driven by the Eco Leadership – Ocean Conservancy. One hundred and fifty three million pieces of trash and debris have been collected worldwide since Ocean Conservancy launched ICC 27 years ago. Talents and department heads of the W Bali undertook the initiative aimed at creating a green environment for the global community and the wildlife that surrounds Bali.
“Bali’s beaches are a major tourism asset” expresses Craig Seaward, General Manager of the W Retreat & Spa Bali – Seminyak. “We are proud to be part of this coastal clean up by extending our efforts to create crystal clean beaches for everyone to enjoy. Every piece of thrash we remove reveals something important, not only for the betterment of our environment, but also for the marine wildlife and for those whose lives depend on it”.

In the last three months, 6 large green turtles have come and laid their eggs on the beach in front of the Hotel. This is evidence that the talents and also the community are taking care of Seminyak beaches, clean for green turtles to come and lay their eggs. There has been a strong concerted effort to educate the local community to protect and conserve these endangered animals. W Bali is extending our best effort to shelter the turtle eggs and play a strong part to help regenerating the turtle population in Indonesia.

バリ島の海を綺麗に保つことで
海洋生物、そこに住む人々の生活や心が豊かで
そして永遠でありますように。
今回のクリーンアップ運動。
もちろん、個人単位での働きかけも大きな力を発揮すると思います。
バリ島の海だけでなく、世界中の海で海岸で
ゴミを持ち帰る。という少しの気遣いが
これからの地球を支えていくのでしょうね。
W RETREAT & SPA BALIのみなさま
