Bawah Reserve
Anambas Archipelago, Indonesia, Asia
As part of the WWF’s Signing Blue initiative, Bawah was carefully constructed to protect the mangroves, marine life and natural biodiversity on the Anambas archipelago and its surrounding marine conservation zone. Hearing that the tropical private island has an in-house marine biologist to relocate turtle eggs to increase successful hatchlings, always tugs on the heartstrings.
Bouteco loves: The Bawah Anambas Foundation was set up to protect and improve the overall ecosystem of the Anambas in the South China Sea; they lead reforestation projects as well as work with communities to educate them about waste management and help develop organic farms within their villages.
