To make things and behaviors really evolve, the Gili Eco Trust focused on next generations. As they are those who will be responsible for the island tomorrow the Gili Eco Trust wants to get them understand the importance of land and marine environments protection.
Thus Delphine Robbe, Gili Eco Trust coordinator, teaches four times a week the three local school’s classes about ecology and English. During 45 minutes, children from 6 to 12 years old think in English about solutions to preserve natural richness of Indonesia. Then they go to the school’s garden to cultivate tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, aloe vera and vetiver grass.

But the Gili Eco Trust does not only target children. Every inhabitant, permanent or temporary, must improve his/her behavior. To achieve this goal, posters and notice boards have been put up more or less all over Gili Trawangan.
 
Posters to raise awareness
Finally Delphine Robbe offers to come to businesses to train their staff in eco-behavior. In the same way, she can explain boats owners why coral is important and how to behave to not damage it.
Everyone must feel responsible for his/her gestures and their impact on our environment.
