Two sea turtle nests discovered on Nikko Bali Resort and Spa's beach

Nusa Dua, June 10th, 2010 - Sea turtles are one of the world's most bizarre creatures; it has the unique instinct to lay their eggs on the same beach where they hatched. Hunted for their meat, shells and, unfortunately, their eggs as well (considered delicacies for some), this species' population is quickly dwindling and facing extinction. With a very slim chance of surviving (0.01% from one nest) in the wild, world organizations and environmentalists have been taking actions to protect known nests to help increase sea turtle population around the world.

Located on the shore of the Indian Ocean, Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has been very lucky to be able to take part in helping this creature by protecting nests over the years. Recently the associates of Nikko Bali Resort and Spa found two nests just at the beach of The Shore Restaurant and Bar. Immediate actions were taken including erecting protective fences around the perimeter of the nests. It is now just a matter of time before these eggs hatch and gives birth to another generation of sea turtles that will once again roam the ocean. Expected to hatch early August, this will be an exciting moment for both guests and Nikko’s associates. 

A single act to save a life, another STEP UP taken by Nikko Bali Resort and Spa.

A process as opposed to the practice of most products is driven by market needs, namely the production process faster and most use artificial ingredients or chemicals.

Balinese can be proud, the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) chose the island as a model in the development of environmentally friendly tourism or green tourism in the world. One is essentially able to develop tourism in Bali is considered armed with local knowledge and philosophy to maintain the balance of nature, that is Tri Hita Karana.

"Bali is able to maintain balance and harmony between humans, humans with nature, and man with God as manifest in the concept of Tri Hita Karana. Wisdom is still alive and adhered to until now, "said Geoffery Lipman UNWTO Assistant Secretary General in the presentation selection of Bali as a model of environmentally friendly tourism in the office of Governor of Bali, Denpasar, late last year.

The concept of eco-friendly economy is closely linked with green (green economy) that includes, among others, decreased carbon dioxide production, investment, environment friendly, alternative energy use, and preservation of biodiversity. However, application of the concept was obtained actual challenge, especially when faced with a number of related issues that concern climate change impact on environmental degradation in Bali. One striking phenomenon is visible is the erosion in coastal areas.

In addition to Tenganan, green friendly practices that remain practiced and sold to the tourists are still prevalent. Call it Penglipuran indigenous village in Bangli regency or Kertalangu Tourism Village in Denpasar recently developed several years ago. There's also the ecological agricultural practices in Amazing, Tabanan. The area was even proposed to be the world's cultural heritage to the United Nations.

Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said, the image of Bali as a tourist destination in the world of environmentally friendly tourists who are expected to bring in quality. Inside, it was once more the determination to strengthen efforts to protect natural and cultural preservation.

"It also becomes increasingly challenging to preserve its natural Bali. Because, no tourism has also denied making people reluctant to move to the city and became a farmer. If agriculture can be developed, people will not be crowded-crowded into the city. And make Bali more green, "said Pastika some time ago
