Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
They promote the natural environment, both marine and terrestrial and have adopted programmes to avoid damaging our environment. These include conservation awareness, and waste management (recycling) programmes at the resort and with local villages. There are no power generators at Matava - our lighting is primarily solar, with additional kerosene lanterns if required. All rubbish is sorted, food waste is fed to local pigs. We compost as much waste as possible. Plastic and glass bottles are recycled.
