Conrad Bali team aids coastal conservation

The 2010 Conrad Bali Environmental programme has seen 500 mangrove trees planted at Baliââ¬â¢s Tengkulung Beach.

The tree saplings were provided by the Forestry Office, Bali province for the local community in support of the coastal conservation efforts.

ââ¬ÅâœTeam members at Conrad Bali felt strongly about playing a part in conserving the lovely beaches where Conrad Bali is situated,ââ¬~ said Michael Burchett, general manager.

ââ¬ÅâœThe planting of the mangrove trees will aid in the preservation of the coastal environment in Bali and also ensure the sustainability of the people and communities that live here.ââ¬~

Mangrove trees are of major ecological and cultural importance to Bali and the local community as they build their own environment and protect coastal areas from erosion and storm surges especially during hurricanes and tsunamis.
