Adaaran Club Rannalhi: Enriching Biodiversity
To protect their island for future generations, a biodiversity survey has been completed by Adaaran Club Rannalhi. In Maldives's warm and humid tropical climate, 583 plant species have been recorded. 260 species are native species and 323 species are cultivated. Native plants play an important role in the prevention of beach erosion and protection against large waves. 300 plant species are used in traditional medicinal practices in the Maldives.
To further enrich Rannalhi’s natural environment a tree planting campaign supported by 55 guests and resort associates, introduced 100 new flowering trees across the island.
The Rannalhi vegetable garden also continued to grow abundant organic produce. Utilizing limited available space, excellent harvests were achieved including 48 kilograms of vegetables, 300 kilograms of bananas and 2,486 coconuts. At the same time the wet garbage digester machine produced 25,210 kilograms of eco-friendly soil additives from 75,310 kilograms of food and kitchen waste.
