Chalets d’ Anse Forbans published their Environmental
Policy in September 2011 and distributed this to all their partners. Since then
they have continuously educated their staff and clients on sustainable tourism.
They have also sourced new materials to be more environmentally friendly and constantly
monitor turtles and turtle nests along their protected hawksbill turtle nesting
beach. They have also been active in the protection of the Seychelles Kestrel
as well as maintaining of their wetlands. Chalets d Anse Forbans has been
supporting the local community and in 2014 assisted the Seychelles Children’s
Council in sponsoring key speaker Jes Foorde while in the Seychelles, they have
also continuously donated to different charities and foundations in need in the
Seychelles. Just to mention a few of the slides presented in the seminar.
The Seychelles
Minister of Environment and Climate Change Mr. Didier Dogley told the audience
at the end of their Chalets d Anse Forbans presentation that “They where
leading a silent revolution in aiding our tourism sustainability.” Chalets d
Anse Forbans has also been referred to as the “Champions in the fight of
conservation,” by Mr Ronny Jumeau - Seychelles Ambassador for Climate
Change and Small Island Developing State Issues.
Chalets d’ Anse Forbans ended their presentation by
stating: “We are small, we are Seychellois and we are trying to make a
difference in our beautiful country. We started with NO budget but with
dedication we feel we have achieved A LOT. We don’t have any official
certificates for what we do but this will not STOP us taking our steps to
educate and a make a difference. We feel you need to be passionate to make a
difference and not just trying to chase a certificate of recognition. We do
this for the LOVE of Seychelles
and our people.”
