Meeru Island Resort & Spa celebrated World Environment Day with an educational and insightful Back-of-House Tour, which included the resorts very own Meeru Garden and Greenhouse, as well as the Fresh Water and Water Bottling Plants.

Since the first World Environment Day which was held in 1972, people from around the world hosted a number of events in support of more positive environmental action, from connecting with nature to reducing carbon footprints and action against wildlife crime. 

Meeru has been an avid participant of World Environment Day over the years, but also, in each and every way to conserve the pristine nature of the Maldives and protect the unique marine life. The resort continues to actively show support of an environmentally sustainable future for the Maldives through a daily commitment towards creating awareness.

"At Meeru, we are dedicated to advocating environmentally sustainable business operations, with an aim to positively impact the communities in which we operate through energy-efficient practices and sustainable education while maintaining high-quality services to our guests." The resort said in an announcement.

"We continuously strive to incorporate good environmental practices into all of our decisions and operations."

According to the resort, preserving and protecting the ocean is also closely related to a sustainable environment for the Maldives. With 26 atolls covering 90 000 square kilometers of the Indian Ocean and over 2000 species of tropical fish residing in the Maldives warm, crystal clear waters, protecting the Ocean is just as important.

For World Oceans Day on June 8, 2018, Meeru hosted a lagoon cleaning activity together with the Euro-Divers team, where staff and guests joined in an effort to clear out the pristine lagoon of any remaining debris, which is a daily action towards maintaining the resort's beautiful marine ecology.

Both occasions where held under the theme "Beat Plastic Pollution", to coincide with theme from Earth Day on April 22. The theme recognises the effects of plastic pollution on the environment, wildlife, marine ecology and the planet as a whole, with billions of people building awareness and taking action towards a plastic-free future.
