Seychelles Islands Hawksbill and Green Turtles

@ Chalets Anse Forbans
When you think about the Seychelles islands you think of the beautiful beaches and the gorgeous tropical landscapes but would you think about the conservation of endangered Green and Hawksbill Turtles?

The Seychelles is very fortunate to host nesting populations of both the green turtle (chelonia mydas) and the hawksbill turtle (eretmochelys imbricata). When one realises that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has the green turtle on the endangered list and the hawksbill as critically endangered you tend to appreciate the amazing experience enjoyed by many at Chalets d' Anse Forbans.

Chalets d' Anse Forbans is located on a hawksbill turtle nesting beach .The staff and guest of Chalets d' Anse Forbans have been very fortunate in the past to have been able to see either a nesting adult female turtle laying her eggs or the hatchlings making their way to the warm Indian Ocean.
Guest releasing hatchlings @ Chalets Anse Forbans

Through strict conservation regulations the Seychelles Islands are home to one of the five largest remaining populations of the hawksbill turtles in the world. And the Seychelles also have the largest population of nesting hawksbills in the Western Indian Ocean.


Chalets d' Anse Forbans works closely with the Marine Conservation Society of the Seychelles in the conversation of the Hawksbill Turtle.

Seychelles Dancing Moutia

Earth Hour on Saturday March 26th 2011 will unite people all over the world in one common purpose to show WE CARE ABOUT OUR PLANET AND CLIMATE CHANGE. Traditionally earth hour is exactly that one hour where we turn off lights and appliances. But this year the organisers want us to go beyond the hour, and think about the small changes we can make in our lives to make a difference for our planet.

They Seychelles Islands are participating in Earth Hour and some of the major environmental and energy companies have organised and branded Earth Hour in True Creole Spirit by organising a Moutia open to the general public on Saturday Night at Beau Vallon Beach. 
For those who do not know about the traditional  Moutia dance of the Seychelles: The moutia dates back to the days of slavery. Two men told stories about the hard labors of the day. Women then joined in to dance, accompanied by singing and chanting. Modern performances still involve dancing to typical African rhythms.

The Local Seychelles Public Utilities Corporation are hoping to see a significant decrease in usage on Saturday night and will monitor the impact of the Seychellois to Earth Hour 2011.
Chalets d' Anse Forbans will also be participating in Earth Hour 2011 by encouraging all guests to switch off their lights during this hour and furthermore take this beyond the hour by planting more trees and expanding our vegetable garden that is open to our guest to purchase fresh vegetables.

Royal Wedding 2011 in the Seychelles

I do not know if you feel the same but I am rather excited about the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Midelton to be held on the 29th April 2011 at Westminster Abbey. 

The 29th April is also the Feast of St Catherine. St. Catherine is said to be a young woman of noble birth who went before the Emperor Maximinus to correct him for worshipping false gods and to reproach him for his persecution of Christians.
The customary of St Cantherine's day is for unmarried women to pray for husbands, and to honor women who've reached 25 years of age but haven't married -- called "Catherinettes" in France.

I guess a lot of the excitement is that Prince William and Kate Midelton visited the Seychelles Islands on Holiday in August 2007 for a secluded romantic break on the island of Desroches. Further local rumours are the royal wedding was discussed and Kate accepted in the Seychelles islands. All very exciting but they are not the first to have a wedding proposal in the Seychelles. Our beautiful islands are renowed for Seychelles Weddings and Seychelles Honeymoon Holidays.
