The Maldives is home to a rich ecosystem and biodiversity that is particularly affected by climate change. As a result, environmental conservation and sustainable practices are of great importance. As a tourist, it is always best to try and minimize leaving any negative impact on the environment. You could start by opting for a hotel or resort that follows the same commitment; the Maldives has eco-friendly resorts that are dedicated to sustainable practices and conservation, like OZEN Life Maadhoo. Apart from this, it is important to minimize your use of plastic, avoid littering beaches, and avoid touching coral reefs and other marine animals when diving and snorkelling.
