Con Dao National Park has been officially recognized as a member of the Indian Ocean-Southeast Asia (IOSEA).

CON DAO ISLAND, VUNG TAU PROVINCE, VIET NAM, December 9, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Con Dao Island's National Park, Vietnam has been officially recognized as a member of the Indian Ocean-Southeast Asia (IOSEA)*, becoming the 11th member of the marine turtle conservation international network. The recognition honors great efforts to promote biodiversity conservation from Vietnam’s authority, while confirming strong commitment to protect the country’s rare species, particularly demonstrated in the turtle conservation in Con Dao region.

In collaboration with Con Dao Island's National Park, Six Senses Con Dao’s own incubation center “Let’s Get Cracking” has since been home to many new turtle hatchings, with 2020 seeing a high successful hatching rate, 43 nests delivered to the resort for custodianship and over 2,095 turtles successfully hatching and released to the ocean. For the past 3 years, there have been 173 nests with 7,860 critically endangered newly hatched green sea turtles. With an average hatching rate of 80%, it represents the careful and consistent effort that Six Senses Con Dao has in the conservation of these critically endangered species.

Six Senses Con Dao’s demonstrated commitment to sustainability has also been recognized as one of the world’s top eco lodges by many leading publications.
Directly in front of the resort is a prime habitat and feeding grounds, the only place where protection is enforced from fishing boats, sustaining the marine population that resides around Con Dao Islands.

Consistent with the resolve of the world-leading luxury hotel group, Six Senses Con Dao develops and invites guests to share the responsibility to offset carbon footprint, while still experiencing the total indulgence of “Sustainable Luxury”.

Six Senses Con Dao works only with ecologically minded suppliers to support the mission in making the resort virtually plastic free, maintaining clean ocean and land for the turtle nests, while educating local children with the weekly environmental and English class programs. There are programs in place to conserve energy, keep packaging to an absolute minimum, or to reuse and recycle. The resort manages its own reverse osmosis plant and crystal water refinery, producing high quality drinking water without the use of plastic bottles. An organic vegetable garden also supports self-sustained food and beverages in the resort, drastically reducing the environmental footprint.

Committed to sustainability and its obligation to the environment and the community, Six Senses Con Dao has a long-term plan to restore the surrounding nature to its pristine condition, and to enhance the guest experience by simply reconnecting with nature and the world around them, starting with the precious marine life.
