Banwa Private Island Supports Biodiversity Conservation Through Art and Education

Central to Banwa Private Island’s ethos, the Aquos Foundation was established to support, nurture and protect delicate ecosystems. Among its pioneering programs is the protection and restoration of habitats of the critically endangered Mantanani Scops Owl, Hawksbill Turtle and the Tabon Bird (Philippine Megapode).

About Aquos Foundation

Fundamental to Banwa Private Island’s ethos, and something every guest’s visit contributes to, is our mission to support, nurture and protect the island’s delicate ecosystems – a mission that led to us to setting up the Aquos Foundation.

Our original inspiration was to help protect the critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle, as Banwa Private Island is one of its favoured nesting habitats in the region. Aligned to this, our Reef Balls programme is helping to stimulate reef regeneration off the south-westerly shores of Banwa Private Island. To date, our investment has funded the deployment of over 200 structures, which are already promoting significant growth of coral in the area.
