Outreach Programme – Launch of Denis Island Newsletter.

I have posted in the past about various aspects of our outreach programme under the islands 2008-2012 Environmental Management Plan. The raising of public awareness both at home and overseas is an important component of the overall sustainability of the island’s environmental initiatives – and this blog forms part of that outreach.

In recent months we have had some excellent national media coverage on the TV, radio and in the press. We also, thanks to the assistance of the Seychelles Broadcasting Corporation, have had some great international coverage on CNN. This has all been very encouraging and has resulted in positive feedback.

We are also active on the island as well; GIF personnel provide walks and talks for hotel guests and the island has also constructed an information centre which now just awaits the arrival of posters and pamphlets on the island’s environment in English and French for it to open.

Now last week we launched an Environmental Update Newsletter for circulation on the island in Guests’ rooms and in the hotel complex. The intention is that there will be an issue every 2 months that will give clients the opportunity, at their leisure, to learn about the islands wildlife and environmental projects.
