To commemorate #worldcleanupday Nature Seychelles, Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment, the Grand Anse Mahé District Administration and Grand Anse Mahé Primary School, joined forces to clean Grand Anse Mahe beach and inner trails on Friday, 20th September. The group of 45 adults and students was divided into three teams: two teams headed north and south along the beach toward the wetlands on either side, while the third team cleaned the start of the trail near the primary school’s entrance gate. Some students also had the opportunity to plant native trees along the trail. The students then sorted the trash collected and were surprised at the items found and the amount since the beach is cleaned daily. A total of 37 kg of trash was collected, consisting mainly of glass bottles (10 kg) and PET bottles (8 kg). The remaining 18 kg was made up of beer cans, slippers, Styrofoam, plastic bottles, and toys. The cleanup is the first in a series of community engagement activities under Nature Seychelles’ European Union in Mauritius & Seychelles funded #Wetlands of Hope project. The project aims to increase community participation in wetland conservation efforts. 📷 Nature Seychelles, Farah Nasser. #CleanUp #seychelles #leaveonlyfootprints #plasticpollution #stoppollution
