Banwa Private Island Supports Biodiversity Conservation Through Art and Education

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.

As part of the Foundation’s further conservation initiatives, we are also pursuing important and nationally-recognised research programmes, guided by world-leading experts. Projects include studies into the native Tabon Bird (Philippine Megapode) and Mantanani Scops Owl, as well as the preservation of the indigenous beach forests where they nest.
