( MENAFN - Dubai PR Network) Planting Seeds of Change: Nova Maldives Sets Out to plant 75 Coconut Trees for World Environment Day to Revitalise Island Ecosystem Dubai, UAE, 05 June, 2024 – Nova Maldives is proud to announce its participation in World Environment Day with holistic initiatives to support this year's theme, #GenerationRestoration. Recognising that 'land is life' and that healthy ecosystems are essential to sustaining island communities and inhabitants, the island resort will donate 75 coconut trees to the local island Dhangethi, with an informative presentation delivered to school pupils and parents on the island by their marine biologist to complement the reforestation efforts. The donation of coconut trees is part of Nova Maldives' ongoing commitment to be a business that gives back to the local community.
The coconut palm is a native botanical uniquely suited to the island's tropical climate. Planting them not only helps maintain the island's natural beauty, but also promotes ecological balance through the restoration of vegetation, which provides habitats for local wildlife. The roots of the trees also possess a remarkable ability to anchor the soil, shielding it from the erosive forces of wind and water during the Maldives' monsoon season, and bolstering its overall resilience against the impacts of extreme weather.
Additionally, Nova's resident Marine Biologist will give a presentation on the marine environment of the South Ari Atoll and critical conserv.
